2nd-order dependencies missing from Pipfile.lock

I believe the answer will be “astroid is packaged weird”, but this package is maintained by the PyCQA and works fine with the pip freeze > requirements.txt workflow, so I’m assuming other packages might exhibit this behavior.

backports.functools-lru-cache, enum34, and singledispatch are missing from the Pipfile.lock so future reinstalls (and CI runs) will fail.

$ pipenv graph

I’m guessing that astroid’s installation conditionally includes the back-ported Python 2 dependencies, but pipenv graph seems to know about them so I don’t know why they’re missing.

I’m going to see if I can fix this for you, but it won’t be easy.

Asteroid is packaged weird — very fancily, to be exact 😃
