I have been revisiting buildout recently and I wish there's something that merge ease of use of pipenv with buildout concept. Perhaps something similar to Nix throw in the mix, but more specific to a Python project. I heard that I can do this with Conda, but I never tried.
Being able to define and install external dependencies (e.g. ImageMagick, libsodium, etc.) from a configuration file local to a project is something I missed the most, especially when I'm working on several projects at once.

One example I can think of: Nix doesn't support Windows. https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#python https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#python
- sirn 8y agoNix does everything I want, but I find it hard to convince friends and coworkers to try out Nix. I think this is partly due to Nix itself not belonging to the Python's ecosystem, so the barrier is higher than say, "Yeah, Pipenv is just Virtualenv+Pip"
