Steps to replicate

Provide the steps to replicate (which usually at least includes the commands and the Pipfile).

$ # Using zsh
$ mkdir test_pipenv
$ cd test_pipenv
$ pipenv install
$ pipenv shell

I did the classic install and then re-install with homebrew and it worked marvelously.

brew uninstall pipenv
brew install pipenv

@sallybananas Just add export SHELL=/bin/zsh into your .zshrc, open a new shell, and try pipenv shell again
