In order to run python code that imports packages installed through pipenv, the recommended way to do this is to run
```bash
$ pipenv run python main.py
```
Using "pipenv run" ensures that all packages installed through pipenv are actually available to your python script/project. It is also possible to enter into a new shell with access to all of the installed packages in your project's virtual environment, through the command
```bash
$ pipenv shell
```
