Think pipenv is becoming the de facto standard for package management. https://realpython.com/pipenv-guide/

It is popular, but it is not standard by any means. There are many voices against it in the Python community who prefer Poetry, or who have stuck with setuptools because there is no mature replacement yet.

Is pipenv still being patched? When I moved to Poetry, I did because there were outstanding issues for pipenv that made it bug out with my setup (pretty sure it was a WSL thing?) but the maintainer hadn’t committed anything in months and wasn’t accepting PRs.

Poetry has been solid, at least lately.

Poetry is very good https://python-poetry.org/ better than pipenv in my experience.

I’ve tried a few, and my favourite combination is pyenv-virtualenv and pip-tools.
