Is there any walkthrough available? Pipenv has one deficiency is that it can be slow at times, particularly when you want to quickly install a dependency and run. Would love to know the alternative.

Set the environment variable to a different directory for each project, and `python3 -m pip install whatever` will go into that directory.
