Django commands work with `pipenv run`, but not in `pipenv shell` activated environment

See original GitHub issue

I believe this is a unique concern after checking through open issues and reviewing the diagnose documentation, including the No module named <module name> section.

I have pipenv 2018.7.1 (latest) installed according to the Pragmatic Installation of Pipenv instructions in a debian/contrib-stretch64 Vagrant VM running Python 3.7 (same issue in 3.6 as well). Django version 2.0.7 (latest) is installed with pipenv.

Issue description

I am able to run Django commands using pipenv run python manage.py ..., but with pipenv shell a ModuleNotFoundError exception is thrown.

Expected result

pipenv run <command> and pipenv shell + <command> should produce the same result.

$ pipenv run python manage.py check
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

$ pipenv shell
(vagrant) $ python manage.py check
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Actual result

pipenv run <command> works as expected but pipenv shell + <command> produces ModuleNotFoundError

For anyone stumbling upon this issue, i got this exact error because I was aliasing python to python3 and pip to pip3. Removing the aliases did it for me.

Yes ! This worked for me too (I had an alias to another python thing). Thanks
