Not tried pipenv, I'm a bit tied by what the company uses.

I did try using something similar to asdf (can't remember the name, think it changed), but it still didn't really solve the problem of OS dependencies and things needing to be compiled, and the problems arising from me not running the same OS as the application would run on. A dockerfile solves that, my system is a carbon copy of the prod environment.

Yeah, that can definitely not be beat, if at all probably only due to comfort.

I've been meaning to put a tutorial out there with my workflow since forever, if I had it I'd point you to it.

I recommend you give it a try if you get the chance, you might like it.
