pipenv does not use default python version under pyenv (2024)

Issue description

The pipenv documentation states this:

Expected result

Python version is 3.7.7 as set by .python-version via pyenv. I’ve verified that pipenv is installed and running from 3.7.7. I start a new project with pipenv install and I expect to see a virtual environment created with Python version 3.7.7.

Actual result

pipenv uses a different pyenv installed python to create the venv:

Steps to replicate

Install two versions of python using pyenv (3.7.7 and 3.8.3).
Make a project directory and type: pyenv local 3.7.7 (verify you’re now using 3.7.7)
Install pipenv: pip install pipenv
Install a dependency: pipenv install requests
Watch the virtualenv get created with 3.8.3.
