pipenv install python-dotenv fails

[Garfield2013]

I can run command below without errors:

pip install python-dotenv

But the command below here fails with the following exception:

pipenv install python-dotenv

It fails both on Windows and Ubuntu.

At least in my Ubuntu environment, pipenv install python-dotenv was successful.
Please post more detailed information on the failure (OS, Python version, pipenv version, other package versions, etc.).

[Garfield2013]

Thank you for reaching out my friend - but I install virtualenv instead + use pip freeze ... It solves all I need atm :)

[Dambre]

Same here on macos..

[command-tab]

I had success installing python-dotenv under Python 3.7.6 (via Homebrew) on macOS Catalina 10.15.3. @Garfield2013 what OS, Python, and pipenv versions are you running?

I ran pipenv install python-dotenv on my mac and received the same error. Running pip install python-dotenv within pipenv shell worked though.

I'm running pipenv on python 3.7 with pop_!os.
also pip install python-dotenv works fine.

[richiebful]

Here's the resolution to the issue: https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/advanced/#automatic-loading-of-env

Apparently pipenv run and pipenv shell will automatically load your .env environment variables if they are in the same directory as your Pipfile.

Continuing further in the docs:

If your .env file is located in a different path or has a different name you may set the PIPENV_DOTENV_LOCATION environment variable:

$ PIPENV_DOTENV_LOCATION=/path/to/.env pipenv shell

[tector]

@richiebful This is not a solution for everybody.
In my case i am using pyenv for virtual environment handling and pipenv only for the package management. In this scenario pipenv shell would create a new environment that doesn't meet my conventions.

_But back to topic:_
I had the same error because i made a mistake: i tried to install dotenv instead of python-dotenv.
I realized my error but dotenv was staying in the Pipfile and caused the error again and again until i found and removed it from Pipfile :-)
