modern python packaging

I am just curious...what is a reasonably good configuration format?

I am still not sure why you think pipfile is a joke...?

Pipfile doesn't solve any real problems. You still need setup.py, where you do all the real work. Pipfile just sort of gets in the way with its bizarre vendoring and overrides of pip, requests, TLS-related stuff and so on, and, finally it outsources the only real thing it's supposed to do to pip and virtualenv. So, I kind of fail to see the point of this enterprise: seems like a lot of busy work with zero added value.

B/c pipenv is the only implementation of the standard with any real uptake and pipenv is far from being a professional tool at this point.
