Pipenv: Pipenv 2020.6.2 Falsly flags Homebrew's Python as a virtual environment

Created on 3 Jun 2020 · 17Comments · Source: pypa/pipenv

Hey Hey :wave:,

First off. Thank you for all the work that has gone into the recent releases! I'm happy to use pipenv almost on a daily basis.

Issue description

It seems that the latest pipenv falsely flags my macOS + Python3 via Homebrew as a virtual environment.

The subsequent installation of dependencies does noting on existing projects or fails weirdly with python2 errors on new projects.

Expected result

$ pipenv install

Warning: the environment variable LANG is not set!
We recommend setting this in ~/.profile (or equivalent) for proper expected behavior.

To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

Actual result on new projects

$ pipenv install

Courtesy Notice: Pipenv found itself running within a virtual environment, so it will automatically use that environment, instead of creating its own for any project. You can set PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1 to force pipenv to ignore that environment and create its own instead. You can set PIPENV_VERBOSITY=-1 to suppress this warning.

Steps to replicate

Use macOS (I'm on Mojave 10.14.6)
Install python using homebrew: brew install python
a. Probably unrelated: I've also installed Python 3.8 using homebrew brew install [email protected]
Also make sure the install paths of homebrew are in your PATH.
a. I think my setup is based upon this guide
b. Make sure to reload/reboot any open sessions so the changes in PATH are reflected
Run pip3 install -U pipenv to install the latest pipenv
Run pipenv install in a python project
Acknowledge incorrect virtual environment detection because it spits out the "Pipenv found itself running within a virtual environment" message.

Notes

Assuming that a Homebrew installed python is not supposed to be a virtual environment, I tried digging into this myself and found a possible cause of the bug. Please note that i'm making some assumptions so I'd love to hear your input on this :)

The last release introduced an _OSX_VENV variable that is later-on used in the method is_in_virtualenv() to determine if the command is running inside
a virtual environment. This variable stores the removed value of an __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ environment variable, which is originally implemented to prevent faulty shebangs.

I suspect that using the OSX_VENV variable is too aggressive in determining if we are running inside a virtual environment. I've checked on a different mac setup with a Python 3.7.2 and it seems that the __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ is also set there.

My suggested fix would be to remove the _OSX_VENV variable, this works on my machine. Although I'm not sure if this reintroduces https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/pull/4284

So, I'm trying to be as kind as possible. I know how much of the opensource community (to which I am also a part of) is powered by volunteers. But pipenv has been broken for at least a good portion of the macOS Python user base for almost two months now. I know there's are tradeoffs to be made in selecting a threshold for when to do bugfix point release vs when to wait for the next normal release. I would like to very respectfully suggest that this project has its threshold for what requires a bugfix point release set too high currently. In the meantime, I can't use or recommend a core tool that stays broken for this long for a significant portion of its userbase.

(If the project changes its mind and wishes to do a bugfix point release, and is lacking the time to port over the patch, I'd be more than happy to help.)

Just a note: this was closed as a duplicate (https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/4341) but I think it adds something to this issue... I'm also experiencing this issue, and to me it seems 2-fold. First, it throws the warning about the existing environment when there is one, but it still will proceed to successfully create a pipenv. However, pipenv --rm will throw the same error and then abort the removal. So pipenv --rm is broken in this case, and the virtualenv must be removed manually

Seeing this too. Looks like #4341 was closed as a duplicate of this issue?

goude on 17 Jun 2020

To manually remove a pipenv virtualenv:

pipenv_venv="$(PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1 pipenv --venv)" && rm -rf "${pipenv_venv}"

Hey, I noticed that this is reopened. Did the applied fix in #4317 not work well enough?

I read https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/4359 but can only assume why this reopened 😄

nstapelbroek on 22 Jun 2020

@nstapelbroek Just to leave at least one issue open so that newcomers won't file duplicate issues.

I didn't notice #4359 , I have closed that one.

I'm also experiencing this on Red Hat 7 when I install pipenv with pipx and on macOS via brew . From what I can tell though, pipenv install and pipenv --rm work as expected if pipenv was not installed in a virtualenv and the message is incorrect about using the virtualenv pipenv is installed in.

This also still happens when I install pipenv from the master branch.

I've had this problem since I entered #%% in the terminal to set up a environment now I can't stop it?

primelos on 15 Jul 2020

Came here because of this problem. Are there plans to cut a bugfix release soon? Pipenv is kinda broken for me until that fix is released.

chrish42 on 16 Jul 2020

You can just roll back the version for now.

I just thumbed up the issue a month or so ago, but didn't post a comment here. Yet the problem here just had me determine pipenv to be non-viable to use.

I just have a very standard MacOS set up I have (i.e. latest Python 3.8 installed with homebrew).

My feedback here is meant with goodwill and respect to the people that put their time in to support the project, and just want to give the feedback that the issue here impacts engagement with the project for another individual here, also.

I ran into this as well. + 1

In the meantime, since I did not want to go through homebrew history (I had pipenv installed via brew), I decided to uninstall the homebrew version (2020.6.2), and installed via my pyenv's pip; i.e. pip install 'pipenv==v2020.5.28'. I ensured that I did not have any Pipfiles in any unwanted directories (e.g. ~) and restarted iTerm2. Seems like things are back to normal - at least until a fix is available.

raorahul on 6 Aug 2020

Spent hours figuring out what is wrong with my python setup, just to eventually land here. At least change what version brew points to maybe?

MiluchOK on 12 Aug 2020

@MiluchOK You would have to take that up with the Homebrew people and I don't think they will downgrade pipenv. You're better off manually downgrading pipenv on your machine.

J-M0 on 12 Aug 2020

This is fixed in Release v2020.8.13.
