Context: I'm setting up a new Python project and decided to give PEP-517 and PEP-518 ("build systems") a whirl, instead of my usual setup.py-plus-a-bunch-of-shell-scripts configuration. My requirements are: dependency management and being able to create a Python package and publish it to PyPI. I decided to give Pipenv a chance.
Problem: I cannot find any information about how to create a Python package when using Pipenv to manage the dependencies. It appears that Pipenv doesn't provide means for that. So, does it mean that in addition to the Pipfile I still need to create a setup.py? What is the point of having the Pipfile then? Or is it possible to "snapshot" a Pipenv into a setup.py for example? If so, how do I manage other attributes (package description, author, project URL, etc.) in this case?
To avoid any confusion, my question is not to find a library or a tool, but about how to accompilsh a specific task - build and publish a Python package - in the Python project with dependency management based on Pipenv.
