Pipenv is hopelessly slow. It's a shame. Remember when git first came out and it changed the way we worked because it was so quick to commit now? (I fully expect that most git users here don't remember that, actually). There is no going back. I will not use slow tools. My tools need to be at the very least as fast as me.

Interesting, this has never been a problem for me. I've built some large tools and while it isn't fast, it's always completed in a few minutes.

A few minutes??! That sounds very slow.

To be clear: with few deps it's very fast for me, it's just lager projects with LOTS of non-trivial deps where it can slow up.

What OS?

Mid-2015 MacBook Pro running the newest OS

It is abundantly clear that the pipenv developers use MacOS so I wonder if it's an OS dependent thing.

my current project is at 16 dependencies atm and ... its really not as bad as you make it sound.

    pipenv lock  5.65s user 0.29s system 77% cpu 7.639 total

i think 7.6 seconds is fine for an operation that you'd rarely do

it would probably take ages at work though. just opening a WSL terminal takes several seconds there, which is predictably instantaneous (<100ms) on fedora linux at home

SSD vs HDD may be?
