Hello Chris,

I know that you don't like homebrew based solutions on macOS. The reasons for this are understandable. This is why I suggested to use the installer from python.org:

There are Python 3 installers available for macOS from python.org:

https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/

According to the pip project site it is already installed for Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4:

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

For example to install Python 3.7.4 on macOS you can use:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/python-3.7.4-macosx10.9.pkg

I don't have a Mac and cannot test this.

The Python 2.7 end of life is in 2 months and 20 days (January 1, 2020). The first Python 3 release was in 2008. Are there plans from Apple to update their Python support in Xcode to a state of the art version? Using the doorstop tool is not absolutely necessary right now. The file format is so easy, you can do almost everything with a text editor by hand (and scripts). What you cannot easily do is the calculation of the fingerprint, however, this can be done by the one who commits a patch. So, in case a Python 3 support with pipenv is on the Apple roadmap for the next year, this would make this easier.
