I've recently discovered pipenv, and it has been a massive QoL improvement. No need to figure out bazillion of commands just to create or start an environment, or deal with what params should you use for it like you do with venv. You just pipenv install -r requirements.txt, and everything is handled for you. And when you need to run it, just pipenv run python script.py and you are good to go.

The best thing however are the .pipfiles, that can be distributed instead of requirements.txt, and I don't get why it's not more common. It's basically requirements, but directly for pipenv, so you don't need to install anything and just pipenv run from the same folder.

Yessssss

I actually wrote a script to make a folder an instant pipenv environment for me. Add it to your ./.zshrc. Has saved me a ton of time, I just removed some spaghetti lines that would reinstall pip and shit because it's when I was still early days into Py dev, now I work more with Py than I do C# and I'm a senior C# engineer, I just enjoy the masochism of py.

Also added a check for Arch/Ubu.
