[Pipenv][0] makes it easier to maintain a consistent development
environment for projects using Python. You no longer need to manage
`pip` and `virtualenv` separately, nor deal with the drift and other
issues requirements.txt brings. It enables gaining insights into your
dependency graph, but most importantly - it enables deterministic
builds, which prevents the entire class of "it works on my machine"
problems.
[Pipenv][0] is similar to package managers from other ecosystems, such
as Node.js' `npm` or Rust's `cargo`. Additionally, [Pipenv][0] is an
[officially recommended package manager][1] by the Python project.
This patch brings [Pipenv][0] to the wee-slack project to simplify the
development and contribution experience. Additionally, this patch brings
basic contributing documentation to help onboarding.
