Re: Distlib vs Packaging (Was: disable building wheel for a package)

Pipenv wraps pip usages inside a virtual environment, so pip is always available via “pipenv run pip”,
so in a sense Pipenv “supports” everything pip does. But as far as things Pipenv actually has wrapper
commands for, it only tries to be pip’s functional superset in “install” and “uninstall”; everything else
is out of scope.

There are constantly people advocating adding more, or having confusion between similarly-named
commands (e.g. check), but that’s another issue…
