How to keep setup.py install_requires and Pipfile in sync

See original GitHub issue

I am working on a Python package with pipenv and am faced with the challenge of keeping setup(install_requires=...) in sync with my Pipfile’s runtime dependencies. Is there a recommended approach?

[Answer 2019-08-23] Best practise as also discussed below:

For applications that are deployed or distributed in installers, I just use Pipfile.

For applications that are distributed as packages with setup.py, I put all my dependencies in install_requires.

Then I make my Pipfile depend on setup.py by running pipenv install '-e .'.

check out this pipenv-setup package

It syncs pipfile/lockfile to setup.py

$ pipenv-setup sync

package e1839a8 is local, omitted in setup.py
setup.py successfully updated
23 packages from Pipfile.lock synced to setup.py

you can do $ pipenv-setup sync --dev to sync development dependencies to extra requires. or $ pipenv-setup sync --pipfile to sync pipfile instead

and $ pipenv-setup check to do checks only

one command to solve them all 💯

[Update 2019-08-23] I keep the dev packages in Pipfile nowadays, only the runtime dependencies get to live in setup.py.
