Does `host-environment-markers` need to be in Pipfile.lock?

See original GitHub issue

Why is host-environment-markers part of Pipfile.lock? When working on a repository with multiple developers, this part keeps changing based on who last updated the lock file.

Similar systems, like yarn, does not have this information in their lockfile.

I too find this behavior annoying, and strangely at odds with the cross-platform support I see in (if I understand this correctly) pipenv’s fetching of environment-specific wheels and hashes.

Are you saying it’s useful for some pipenv implementation reason or for pipenv users? I’m having a hard time understanding if you mean the latter.

it’s useful, as the contents of the lockfile are different when created against different versions of python.
