The Pipfile is designed to be edited by humans. However, it often contains loose requirements (like requests = "*" ).
gunicorn = version = "*", markers = "sys_platform == 'linux'" waitress = version = "*", markers = "sys_platform == 'win32'"
pipfile --init
[dev-packages] pytest = "*" black = "==23.1.0"
[requires] hashes = true
[packages] requests = "==2.25.1"
