pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pipenv==2018.10.13' distribution was not found and is required by the application

I've reinstalled pip and pipenv due to some broken package with ansible. Now, it seems like my pip dependencies are all screwed. Any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated.

$ which python2
 /usr/local/bin/python2

$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3

$ which pipenv
/usr/local/bin/pipenv


Traceback (most recent call last):

I had the same problem. You should reinstall pipenv using the same package manager you used the first time.

  • If the installation was done using pip, then:

    pip uninstall pipenv
    pip install pipenv
    
  • If you are using brew, then you must run the commands exposed by Andrei

    brew uninstall pipenv
    brew install pipenv
    

To check if pipenv installation was successfully completed, run: pipenv --version

From the comments, alternatively use:

brew reinstall pipenv
