I started a new project and wanted to create a virtual environment via pipenv as I have been doing for the last seven times. I am a beginner/novice to pipenv, but manage to get the things to do what I want and have not experienced any major problem before I could not solve on my own. I really enjoy not having tons of dependencies installed on my system, and would like to stick with a virtual environment.
To create the problem I simply have to generate a new lock file in a fresh folder with or without files beforehand. Already generated lockfiles work without errors (have not tried installing new dependencies in older project).
terminal
-> workspace pipenv lock

OSError: [Errno 26] Text file busy: '/home/djursing/.local/share/virtualenvs/workspace-kiFyzAmW/bin/python3'
Failed to create virtual environment.
I expected the lockfile to and I would be on my way to install the desired dependencies for my project, but I am instead stuck at this error. I have very little knowledge of general system management, which is why I try to stay away from installing dependencies/packages system wide.
I have checked out the thread named: "OError: [Errno 26] Text file busy: '/…myvirtualenv/bin/python'", but got me no closer to solve the problem.
Hope someone is able to help me.
