Answer 1

There's an undocumented feature in pipenv: if you create a file named .venv in the project root with a path in it, pipenv will use that instead of an autogenerated path.

This, however, is more fit for cases when you already have an established set of environments that you wish to reuse. Otherwise, placing environments in arbitrary places is prone to create a mess eventually. pipenv relieves you from this task specifically to keep them all in one predictable place and eliminate accidental collisions from human error.
