Expected result

Courtesy Notice: Pipenv found itself running within a virtual environment, so it will automatically use that environment, instead of creating its own for any project. You can set PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1 to force pipenv to ignore that environment and create its own instead.

Steps to replicate

Requires pipenv v11.10.1. Not reproducible in v11.10.0. In an empty directory, run:

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pipenv install

For everybody having problems with pipenv: try poetry https://github.com/sdispater/poetry

I was waiting for a whole month for this fix, but after pipenv disappointed me several times now, i switched … pipenv still has not earned its 1.0 release number!

Please release this.
