Is there a command needed in pipenv like the one needed in virtualenv? eg. > source env/bin/activate How does one activate one environment over another? Wh

  You just cd into your project's directory and run "pipenv shell" and it activates the virtualenv for you.

  when you want to run a command 'inside' the pipenv of the current directory, do: > pipenv run {command} This mirrors how npm works. There's also: > pipenv shell to give you a shell in which the environment is setup correctly for you

  pyenv/pipenv are for your development. pipsi is for installing Python tools/applications that you just want to use, like apt/yum.

  Based on install.rst[0] It seems it keeps a ledger somewhere (haven't dug into it). Then to run commands, instead of using `python main.py`, you now use `pipenv run python main.py` and it automates things. It still depends on Virtualenv. As an alternative, Pyenv + Pyenv Virtualenv work by creating the environments in a separate folder. You can then `cd` into a project root folder and there use `pyenv local x` and every time you `cd` into the directory or a subdirectory, it looks up the tree until it finds a `.local` file. This specifies the environment. It can be a Python version or a Virtualenv and it loads it.
