Re:Announcing Pipenv on Monday January 23, 2017 @02:03AM (#13460405)
normally I use virtualenvwrapper and that makes a virtualenv directory for all virtualenvs you create with it. before that, I always create my projects' venvs inside my project hierarchy.

I had a dilemma about it. But after all, you can not move your venv directory unless you use `--relocatable` option. So, anyone have a strong argument about creating venvs inside your project directory?
