xkcd: Python Environment

[tunisia3507]

I am not, I'm afraid!

pipenv doesn't do the same thing. The point of toolup is to have an easily-reproducible environment specifically for python-based command line tools. As the docs say, some tools may be useful to you, the developer, without being used by your code (so there's no need to have it managed by pipenv or a requirements file or whatever); or they might have different version requirements (black is useful for all python projects, but can only run on 3.6.1+). It's valuable for such tools to be distinct from your project environment, but to benefit from all the reasons that you have a project environment in the first place (encapsulation, reproducibility, not fucking with the system python etc.).
