Example Pipenv Workflow

Clone / create project repository:
$ cd myproject

Install from Pipfile, if there is one:
$ pipenv install

Or, add a package to your new project:
$ pipenv install <package>

This will create a Pipfile if one doesn’t exist. If one does exist, it will automatically be edited with the new package you provided.

Next, activate the Pipenv shell:

$ pipenv shell
$ python --version

This will spawn a new shell subprocess, which can be deactivated by using exit.

Specifying Versions of Python

To create a new virtualenv, using a specific version of Python you have installed (and on your PATH), use the --python VERSION flag, like so:

Use Python 3:
$ pipenv --python 3

Use Python3.6:
$ pipenv --python 3.6

Use Python 2.7.14:
$ pipenv --python 2.7.14

Configuring VS Code to Use Your Pipenv environment

After you've created a pipenv environment, add the location of your environments python executable to the VSCode settings.json file
Get your pipenv executable location:
pipenv --py

Copy and paste that location into your settings.json file:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "<<PATH_FROM_ABOVE>>"
}
