> --three / --two Use Python 3/2 when creating virtualenv.

I use Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5 on various projects. Is there a way to choose between 3.4 and 3.5 using Pipenv? I'm using something like this with virtualenv:

  $ virtualenv -p `which python3.5` .venv

Just a comment. Your command is equivalent to

  $ virtualenv -p python3.5 .venv

Is that true? His command would evaluate the path at the time which is run, but yours seems to evaluate the path at the time python3.5 is run. Subtle, but very different results.

virtualenv resolves the interpreter when you run virtualenv, and if you specify a different interpreter with `-p` it will resolve the path to the interpreter and then run virtualenv again using it.

No, but you could be using pyenv instead of the system package manager because it is far cleaner
