In this video I'll be showing how to migrate an existing python virtual environment to Pipenv. Pipenv is a Python virtual environment management tool that supports a multitude of systems and nicely bridges the gaps between pip, python and virtual environments . It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Did you usually run into issues when you are on-boarded on your new project and run into issues due to the mismatched python version. Pipenv automatically creates and manages a virtual environment for your projects, as well as adds or removes packages from your Pipfile as you install or uninstall packages. It also generates a project Pipfile.lock, which is used to produce deterministic builds. With pipenv you can check Pipfile for required python version and Pip file dot file contains the hashes and detail dependencies with respect to python version and installation source. I will show you how to check existing installed packages that require any updates or whether it has security vulnerabilities or not.
I will show 2 methods. The first one, is by reusing existing virtual environment and then generating pip file and its lock file. The second method will be how to generate fresh environment saved to custom location with the use of .venv directory.

By following this tutorial you will be able to easily migrate your existing virtual environment to pipenv.
