Pipenv

While working on this example, there was an update to simple-salesforce lib. Github has the current version and we need the format_soql method from it. BUT pip hasn't been updated with the new version as of yet July 2 2020.

So, we'll need to install it via it's repo on Github.

• pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/simple-salesforce/simple-salesforce.git#egg=simple-salesforce

If you are wondering where to get the #egg=simple-salesforce from checkout this LINK. Basically we grab whatever the name is in the setup.py file.
