✘ Locking Failed!
Your dependencies could not be resolved. You likely have a mismatch in your sub-dependencies.
You can use $ pipenv run pip install <requirement_name> to bypass this mechanism, then run $ pipenv graph to inspect the versions actually installed in the virtualenv.
Hint: try $ pipenv lock --pre if it is a pre-release dependency.
ERROR: Failed to lock Pipfile.lock!

[matteius]

Please run with -v, but you have a mismatch in the specifiers you are requesting so a valid package chain cannot be resolved without violating at least one specifier.

[khteh]

I don't know if it is due to tensorflow and/or scikit-surprise

[khteh]

Reopen this as my assumption that it was due to the tensorflow and/or scikit-surprise are not true. I remove the 2 suspircious packages from Pipfile and still see the same errors and I don't see any obvious package from Pipefile which causes it. See attached for detailed log as they are too big to be in a comment body.

pipenv_install.txt
pipenv_lock.txt

[matteius]

Can you pip install it? I suspect you would see similar error from pip because it appears you missing a system dependency or requesting conflicting package versions -- its not entirely clear to me at this time.

[khteh]

What do you mean? pip install from Pipfile? Does pip do that?
