Hi @rougeth

What 'u think add support to pipenv?

@jairojair I never used pipenv and I know just a bit about it. But actually I know there is a lot of people talking about it. Do you know the benefits?

[rougeth]

@jairojair I'm probably going to support it, I'm just focusing on tests and docs right now, so this will take a bit to be done.

May I work on this?

[rougeth]

@gabrielecker sure!

[gabrielecker]

So just to be clear, by supporting pipenv you mean just adding its dependencies files?

[rougeth]

@gabrielecker actually it's probably just the Pipfile integrated to setup.py. @jairojair what did you have in mind?

[rougeth]

@gabrielecker I'm sorry, like I said, I know just a bit about pipenv, pipfile, etc and its benefits. Maybe we should discuss it more, what do you have in mind too?

[gabrielecker]

I've been searching about setup.py and Pipfile integration and it looks like an anti-pattern.
There are a few statements from the own pipenv creator above:

tl;dr: your setup.py is broken. setup.py should not import pipenv. that's horrible practice.

e.g. a pipfile in that repo is for reproducing a dev environment, the setup.py is for installing the package itself.

So pipenv is not likely to be part of final installation. Actually it's an alternative to the classic requirements.txt which automatically integrates with virtual environments and splits the production and development dependencies by its own.

@gabrielecker I'm sorry for the delay (just saw your lighting talk on #pybr13 hahaha congrats!). Well, let's close this issue, right?
