Only pipenv shell -c works on my zsh

See original GitHub issue

I’m using zsh, and pip shell only works with the --compat flag.

So, in this case, what “misconfigured shells” means?

▶ pipenv shell --help                                     
Usage: pipenv shell [OPTIONS] [SHELL_ARGS]...

  Spawns a shell within the virtualenv.

Options:
  --three / --two  Use Python 3/2 when creating virtualenv.
  --python TEXT    Specify which version of Python virtualenv should use.
  -c, --compat     Run in shell compatibility mode (for misconfigured shells).
  --help           Show this message and exit.

@kennethreitz could you expand a little (or post a link) on what is considered properly configured shell in this case? For people who stumble to this via Google. Thanks!

that means you don’t have your shell configured properly!
