Consider https://github.com/sdispater/poetry as an alternative.

Another good one is pip-tools: https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools (which pipenv set out to replace initially, but it does a terrible job of it IMO)

This looks really nice! That dependency example makes relying on pipenv seem kinda scary, and I really like how it replaces the setup.py too.
