Re:Pipenv: promises a lot, delivers very little

I already managed my python deps with a lockfile - requirements.txt and requirements-frozen.txt, which about three lines of shell script took care of for me. From the article, it doesn't sound like pipenv buys me much on top of that.

It's a "standard" way to do those scripts. It gives you the NodeJS + NPM way's "npm i", by creating a virtualenv and pip installing into it. It helps with specifying prod and dev dependencies too - if I remember correctly.
