Use pipenv to manage dependencies instead of raw virtualenv?

Sorry to be that guy who tries to get you to change your preferred programming tools.

pipenv is by the same guy who made the Python Requests library. It's a dependency management and project build tool, in many ways similar to Cargo for Rust.

The main benefit off the top of my head to using pipenv over venv is that getting set up is as simple as pipenv install (think cargo install) and running is as easy as pipenv run python <main.py> (think cargo run), and the run targets can be configured so that pipenv run mytask works without specifying the script file path.

I'd imagine with the custom run task scripting you could define a configuration that automatically runs pylint and mypy for you.
