= is not a valid operator. Did you mean == ?

[uranusjr]

It’s probably because semantic versioning is not universal in Python land, and most people prefer == instead.

[and800]

Fixed it in #863.

I wonder how 4k people starred this package haven’t noticed this useful feature missing for so long. I fell into it yesterday and it’s my second day using pipenv. ~= operator is awesome ❤️
