Pipenv has a good approach to management, similar to npm, but the implementation is buggy. It gained popularity by being recommended very early on in the official python documentation while being misleadingly advertised as production-ready. If you look at the issues section in its github repo, you'll see that there are some pretty basic bugs there which are very annoying or disruptive. Moreover it seems the author has almost left the boat and a handful of contributors have to tidy things up. Just to illustrate my point. I think a package manager that takes a few minutes to install a single tiny package, or don't prevent you from adding non-existing packages (e.g. spelling mistake), or doesn't let you install a new package without trying to upgrade all other packages isn't really production-ready. These are known issues since November last year.
