Pipenv is certainly not "officially recommended", and it should be avoided at all costs: https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2018/07/17/pipenv-promises-a-l...

I'm loving how we're just 3 levels down into "python installers/package management" and it's already a heap of radioactive waste. Within 3 comments, 6 different python packaging and/or environment management tools were mentioned, and as a seasoned python user, I haven't even heard of direnv yet. Every week, a new pip/py/v/dir/fuck/shit/tit/arse -env tool emerges and adds to the pile of turd that is python packaging. It's truly getting to parody level of incompetence that we are displaying in the python community here.
