Installing Python Runtime Versions via Pyenv

In order to test different Python Runtime versions, I have installed some versions.

$ pyenv install 3.10.2

After activating pipenv shell, requests Python package is listed as well. So, we can list installed packages after activating pipenv shell or run pipenv graph without activating shell.
