Pipenv

This plugin provides some features to simplify the use of Pipenv while working on ZSH.

In your .zshrc file, add pipenv to the plugins section

plugins=(... pipenv ...)

Cache

This plugin caches the Pipenv version to avoid running pipenv --version on every shell startup. The cache is automatically refreshed asynchronously when the plugin is loaded, which is usually when you start a new terminal session.

For legacy Pipenv versions, the generated completion script is also cached.

The cache is stored at:

• $ZSH_CACHE_DIR/pipenv_version version of Pipenv, used to choose between argcomplete-based completion and legacy Click-based completion.

• $ZSH_CACHE_DIR/completions/_pipenv legacy Click-based completion script.

Configuration

Shell activation

If you want to disable the shell activation and deactivation feature, add the following style to your .zshrc before sourcing oh-my-zsh.sh:

zstyle ':omz:plugins:pipenv' auto-shell no
