How this project correlates with tox.

I’m trying to get my head around this tool and understand its proper usecases.

In tox I can create many virtual environments and run my tests in different ways against multiple python versions. Is it possible with pipenv right now or maybe planned milestone in the future?

I explored this a bit, and the following works in my tox.ino:

[testenv]
# We must specify deps, in order to get tox to run the install_command
deps = pipenv
# Allow using sh from outside the virtualenv
whitelist_externals = sh
# Use sh to allow running multiple commands. First run pip to install
# pipenv (and any other dependencies), then run pipenv to install stuff
# from the pipfile. This passes a dummy argument to sh to fill $0 and
# the list of packages (from deps=) as $@.
install_command = sh -c 'pip install "$@" && pipenv install --ignore-pipfile --deploy --system --dev' dummy {packages}

commands = actual_test_command

Annoyingly it seems this only works in the actual test section, so all this stuff must be repeated for every test section. Also, this uses pipenv install, since sync does not support --system (#2227).

When used, a virtualenv will still be created, but it wont’ be used for installation of packages.
