I never used pyenv, but Python's virtual environments a lot. Lately I 
moved on to "direnv" for most projects, as this matches my "directory 
based" working style. Maybe you want to give it a try?

A typical ".envrc" file for me looks like this (combining both a guix 
profile and a virtual env for developing the current package)

...8<-------
use_guix --load-path=../guix-channel \
     -v 1 --keep-failed \
     --ad-hoc glibc-utf8-locales python-wrapper python-pip 
python-virtualenv \
     python-pep-adapter sequoia python-pyyaml python-requests \
     python-setuptools python-setuptools-scm python-wheel python-babel \
     python-pytest@5.3.5 python-pytest-cov python-pytest-mp \
     python-requests-mock python-filelock python-pexpect

layout_python3 --system-site-packages
pip install -e .
path_add PYTHONPATH $PWD
