There’s an open issue on the AWS CDK right now about which packaging and dependency management tool to use for the default Python package construct: [Python construct to generate and use Pipenv for package management · Issue #14930 · aws/aws-cdk · GitHub](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/14930)

Currently, there’s some debate because of the contents of the [packaging.python.org](http://packaging.python.org) documentation on management of dependencies, and I’m curious if someone from the PyPA can weigh in on the issue. I believe the goal here is to maintain a usable default project layout, but it might be worth weighing in (and possibly correcting the documentation if it’s misleading)
