How to fix 'Specifier python_version does not match 2.7 (3.6).'

Question

I'm trying to install django with pipenv on ubuntu 18.04 but the problem is that pipenv always install python 2.7 inside the project. When I type pipenv --python 3.6 it give me this error message: "pipenv check will surely fail.". And when I type pipenv check I get this message: "Checking PEP 508 requirements… Specifier python_version does not match 2.7 (3.6). Failed!". Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

Yeah, it's pretty silly that you can't actually select the python version you want to run in a virtual environment. My solution:

pip uninstall pipenv

Take a look at that. The only "solution" right now is to remove the python_version key from the Pipfile.
