While pipenv has garnered a lot of attention and praise for ease of use, it falls over whenever I integrate it with any serious work. Pipenv lock can take 20-30 minutes on a small flask app (~18 dependencies). And it often mixes up virtualenvs, enabling the wrong one with seemingly no remedy. I see the problems on Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu. 2018 is not the year of pipenv, for me. I'm sticking with regular virtualenvs and the manual-hell of requirements.txt. I hope it gets better eventually.
