+## Python
+
+The USKPA site uses [Pipenv] to manage development and production dependencies.
+In both development and continuous integration, the Python environment is
+established with `pipenv install --dev`.
+
+To accommodate third-party tools that do not yet support [Pipenv], [Pipenv] generates a `requirements.txt` file (containing
+only production dependencies) and includes it in the repository.
+
+You can update development and production dependencies locally with the following:
+
+```sh
+pipenv update --dev
+pipenv lock --requirements > requirements.txt
+```
+
+This will generate updated `Pipfile`, `Pipfile.lock`, and `requirements.txt` files which must be committed to the git repository.
