PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning for every command executed with pipenv

Issue description

I installed pipenv using pip install pipenv in my conda base environment. The installation was successful, but every command I run shows a weird warning at the start:

Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py:116: PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning: -PKG-VERSION is an invalid version and will not be supported in a future release
  warnings.warn(

This was from the simple command pipenv -h, but every command emits this warning before proceeding. The commands seem to work correctly, however. For pipenv -h, for example, the program displays the help message correctly after the warning. Another thing I should note is that it looks like the warning slows down pipenv. When I run pipenv -h, for example, it takes about a second or two to display the warning, and after that, it takes additional 1~2 seconds to display the actual help message, or run the specified command for this matter.

Expected result

The commands executed by pipenv should not display this weird warning which seems out of nowhere. The commands shouldn’t be slowed down because of this as well.

Actual result

Every command executed by pipenv displays this warning and executes around 1~2 seconds after that.

Steps to replicate

Just run any command like pipenv -h and see the warning. I am using Anaconda with Python 3.9.9 on Windows 11. I am not sure if any of these factors are related to the problem. As mentioned before, I installed pipenv into my (base) conda environment by running pip install pipenv.

$ pipenv --support result (Notice this command also printed the warning)

Another Update:

I just checked on my MacBook Pro with Anaconda installed and it seemed to work. I didn’t get any warnings. This probably means the problem is happening in Windows or in Anaconda in Windows.

workaround for unix-like system users Replace your pipenv command file with following warning filtered version

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
import warnings
from pkg_resources import PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning
warnings.simplefilter("ignore", category=PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning)
from pipenv import cli
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(cli())
