How to resolve Python package depencencies with pipenv?

Question

I am using pipenv to handle a Python package dependencies.

The Python package is using two packages (named pckg1 and pckg2) that relies on

Answer 1

This works when there are unfinished routines on pipfile.

Once I made a mistake and run

pipenv install codecove # With an 'e' at the end

and the pipenv kept always trying to complete the installation with no success because the lib does not exist. I resolved it with:

pipenv uninstall codecove

and installed codecov after.

I tried to run

pipenv lock --clear
pipenv lock --pre --clear

but only after uninstalled the lib with wrong name I succeeded.

Answer 2

Nothing here worked for me. In the end this solved the issue:

pip uninstall pipenv
pip install pipenv

Answer 3

You can't. At the moment, pipenv doesn't offer anything for an explicit override of requirement constraints.

As a workaround, you can put dependencies that you want to override to dev-packages as those will be overridden by packages, so this Pipfile should install pckg3>=4.1.0:

# Pipfile
...
[packages]
pckg1 = "==3.0.0"

[dev-packages]
pckg2 = "==1.0.2"

If you now lock and install:

$ pipenv lock --dev
$ pipenv install --dev

the requirement ==4.0.11 will be overridden by >=4.1.0. This is ugly if you ask me because this is not what development packages are meant for and you're changing the role of pckg2 dependency in project, but I don't see any better way here.

I have the similar issue with google-cloud-core.

$ pipenv lock
Locking [dev-packages] dependencies…
Locking [packages] dependencies…

Warning: Your dependencies could not be resolved. You likely have a mismatch in your sub-dependencies.
  First try clearing your dependency cache with $ pipenv lock --clear, then try the original command again.
 Alternatively, you can use $ pipenv install --skip-lock to bypass this mechanism, then run $ pipenv graph to inspect the situation.
  Hint: try $ pipenv lock --pre if it is a pre-release dependency.
Could not find a version that matches google-cloud-core<0.29dev,<0.30dev,>=0.28.0,>=0.29.0
Tried: 0.20.0, 0.20.0, 0.21.0, 0.21.0, 0.22.0, 0.22.0, 0.22.1, 0.22.1, 0.23.0, 0.23.0, 0.23.1, 0.23.1, 0.24.0, 0.24.0, 0.24.1, 0.24.1, 0.25.0, 0.25.0, 0.26.0, 0.26.0, 0.27.0, 0.27.0, 0.27.1, 0.27.1, 0.28.0, 0.28.0, 0.28.1, 0.28.1, 0.29.0, 0.29.0
There are incompatible versions in the resolved dependencies.

It was solved by

1. rm -rf Pipfile.lock
2. pipenv update

Answer 5

If you get an error like:

Locking [dev-packages] dependencies…
Locking [packages] dependencies…
✘ Locking Failed! 

For me, this happened because the underlying virtual environment did not refer to my current directory.

I solved this problem by moving the contents to a new directory and deleting the old one.

I also had to delete the Pipfile and Pipfile.lock but I'm not sure if that's necessary.

On Windows 10 using VS Code I got a clean install after much messing about by running pipenv in Powershell. I also deleted all traces of the previous tries (new directory deleted the previous venvs).
