I'm new to pipenv and it might be some very newbie problem I'm facing.
I'm using python 3.9 and installed pipenv using python3 -m pip install pipenv.
I have a project with a requirements.txt and after running pipenv install -r requirements.txt it was supposed to create a virtual environment but after running pipenv shell and pipenv run src/manage.py runserver it says:
Error: the command src/manage.py could not be found within PATH or Pipfile's [scripts]
The virtual environment was created at /Users/myuser/.local/share/virtualenvs/project1-iLzXCwVe and not at the working space. Is it possible it has something to do with that? Any way this can be solved?

Regarding the venv location, pipenv stores the virtual env information is managed through environment variables. If you also use virtualenvwrapper then venv will be stored in a <dirname>-hash directory at the WORKON_HOME location. In each of these pipenv venv directories there is a .project file that contains the location of the corresponding working directory.
Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!

❯ tree
.
├── Pipfile
└── src
└── cli.py
1 directory, 2 files
│ ~/Development/play ▓▒░
❯ pipenv run src/cli.py
Error: the command src/cli.py could not be found within PATH or Pipfile's [scripts].
│ ~/Development/play ▓▒░
❯ pipenv run python src/cli.py
/Users/joshstephens/Development/play

❯ cat src/cli.py
import os
def print_cwd():
print(os.getcwd())
if __name__ == '__main__':
print_cwd()
│ ~/Development/play ▓▒░

pipenv run python src/manage.py runserver ?
