Is there a way in pipenv to specify the minimum version of python in the Pipfile?
Would something like this work?
[requires]
python_version = ">=python 3.5"

it seems they just support hard version pins for Python. There is an issue on Github

Thanks @lmiguelvargasf. I appreciate the prompt response. I hope that they will implement support for this feature down the road.

I agree with you. It would be awesome if they provide this feature.

To follow up on this, the devs have explicitly said that they will not be adding this feature - even though it puzzles quite a lot of users. The issue.

I agree @BramVanroy, I think this feature would be very handy. Hopefully the devs, given enough pressure from the community, change their mind on this and implement it. I would love to see pipenv ship with future versions of python and become the defacto standard for managing virtualenvs in the python language.

No, pipenv does not support this. Per pipenv issue 1050 feature request, the pipenv authors have explicitly chosen not to implement it.
Note that you can specify:
python_version = "3"
to allow any version of Python 3. Not exactly what you asked for, but it might be sufficient for some projects.
