Configuration¶
Configuration With Environment Variables¶
Pipenv comes with a handful of options that can be set via shell environment variables.
To enable boolean options, create the variable in your shell and assign to it a
true value. Allowed values are: "1", "true", "yes", "on"
$ PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1
To explicitly disable a boolean option, assign to it a false value (i.e. "0"
).
- class pipenv.environments.Setting[source]¶
Control various settings of pipenv via environment variables.
- members
Also note that pip
supports additional environment variables, if you need additional customization.
For example:
$ PIP_INSTALL_OPTION="-- -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" pipenv install -e .
Changing Cache Location¶
You can force pipenv to use a different cache location by setting the environment variable PIPENV_CACHE_DIR
to the location you wish.
This is useful in the same situations that you would change PIP_CACHE_DIR
to a different directory.
Changing Default Python Versions¶
By default, pipenv will initialize a project using whatever version of python the system has as default.
Besides starting a project with the --python
flag, you can also use PIPENV_DEFAULT_PYTHON_VERSION
to specify what version to use when starting a project when --python
isn’t used.
