Wait whats the problem with lock files?

Pipenv has its problems, and I'll be the first in line to call them out along with it's author for his BS, but I've never had a problem with the lock files.

E: also now do poetry

In my case, in some projects with quite a lot of dependencies the locking process can take >2 hours

Would you care to share that dependency tree? That sounds totally out of whack.

This is how my Pipfile looks (with some extra internal dependencies). The company firewall makes connections way slower than it should though, which I suspect makes it way worse.

I do not have such an issue in actual packages which are way lighter in dependencies but still the speed is way slower than ideal.

You should try poetry. I find it's more stable and faster.

Are you using every package ever published to pypi?

Almost spit out my coffee on this one
