How do you list all Pipenv environments like virtualenv's lsvirtualenv command? The documentation does not say how. Thanks a lot to all for the help given. Cheers!

In Ubuntu by default, pipenv creates a folder in $HOME/. local/share/virtualenvs/ whit the name of the virtual env, then listing that folder I have a list of all my environments. To make life easier, I have created an alias to perform this operation.
pipenv stores the packages inside your local machines shared directory called virtualenvs (~/. local/share/virtualenvs/<env-name> ). It ensures that you don't need to use pip and virtualenv separately.
Pipenv is a tool that provides all necessary means to create a virtual environment for your Python project. It automatically manages project packages through the Pipfile file as you install or uninstall packages. Pipenv also generates the Pipfile.
To activate the environment, just navigate to your project directory and use pipenv shell to launch a new shell session or use pipenv run <command> to run a command directly.
Why not simply looking for existing virtual environments? To check where they are stored you can activate one virtual env and get its path:
$pipenv shell
$pipenv --venv
> /path/to/existing_venvs/current_venv
ls /path/to/existing_venvs/
> cython-pr4GGvfQ/ openCV-f4drK-E5/
I don't know if pipenv can store venvs in other places, but at least for me this is enough to know how many and which venvs I have.

You can add the following alias to .bash_aliases:
alias pipenv-list='for venv in ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/* ; do basename $venv; cat $venv/.project | sed "s/\(.*\)/\t\1\n/" ; done'
This will list all the virtual environments and the corresponding project (source) folder like:
$ pipenv-list
<PIPENV>
<PROJECT_HOME_DIR>
[...]
As AChampion said, pipenv has no lsvirtualenv or similar functions.
The creator of pipenv, Kenneth Reitz, told here that is not planned to implement anything of the sort, and that people should rely in other tools like pew.
I've tried pew and pipes and both are good tools, but not the exact tools I was looking for my workflow, so for my personal use I built pipenvwrapper using the base code of virtualenvwrapper.
Some of the supported functions of pipenvwrapper are: workon, lsvirtualenv, cdproject, cdvirtualenv, cdsitepackages, mkproject and rmvirtualenv.
Check if any of those 3 tools fit your needs.
