This discussion seems to have diverted into being about pipenv. Can I ask that the pipenv-specific discussions be split out into a different thread? (For example, I'm not clear if Tzu-Ping's comment here is specific to pipenv or not). My main reason is that (as I noted in my reply to Nathaniel's post) my use cases are, as far as I can tell, *not* suitable for pipenv as it's currently targeted (I'm willing to be informed otherwise, but please, can we do it on another thread or off-list if it's not generally useful). And I'd rather that we kept the central discussion tool-agnostic until we come to some view on what tools we'd expect to be suggesting to users in the various categories we end up identifying.
