Description

I got a little bit confused when reading recommendation for package management solution and project structure.
Package management section recommends pipenv (thanks for that :)), but then project structure recommends requirements.txt file in the root.

Is that suggesting I should be using pipenv, but exporting dependencies in pip compatible format?
