Current evaluation

Feature request to add pipenv/Pipfile support to snapcraft, filed ~8.7 years ago with no labels, comments, or maintainer activity. The premise that pipenv is Python.org's recommended tool is outdated, and requirements.txt export remains a workaround.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is 3176 days old with 0 comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction, and its stated premise (pipenv as 'the officially recommended Python packaging tool from Python.org') is no longer true — Python.org no longer recommends pipenv and the ecosystem has moved to pip/venv, poetry, and uv. Additionally, pipenv users can already export a requirements.txt (pipenv lock -r) that snapcraft's python plugin supports, so the original motivation is no longer applicable rather than merely dormant.

Issue body

The "officially recommended Python packaging tool from Python.org" is now Pipenv (https://docs.pipenv.org/), which introduces a new Pipfile requirements format (a la Cargo.toml). snapcraft should grow support for this.
