consider: please change the names of these files about pipfile

[ryneeverett]

Can't we avoid an overloaded term like "lock" altogether? How about Pipfile.freeze?

[kennethreitz]

@jacebrowning i love your recommendation, and may use these names. @glyph, I was generally opposed to your feedback until I saw these name suggestions. I think they're great.

[jacebrowning]

What about requirements.pip and requirements.piplock?

[Tatsh]

I say since Pipfile is Python code, then it should just end in .py. And similarly, use .json on the lock file. I don't see a reason to avoid the generic extensions. You could even use .lock.json.

.lock.json has no real precedence, but using the generic extension does: composer.json, package.json.

├── pip.py
├── pip.lock.json
└── setup.py

@kennethreitz I should have been clearer that my extension suggestions were somewhat intentional strawmen. I'm glad that others stepped up and came up with better names!

[sethmlarson]

As long as the .lock extension was done away with I am fine with any decision. :) Completely agree with Pipfile and Pipfile.freeze.

[sethmlarson]

@dstufft .lock just makes me scared to delete it because it makes me think that another process is using it as a file mutex or something. Having .freeze makes me feel a lot more safe in deleting it. I think this thought is shared by more than me?

[kennethreitz]

@jacebrowning your feedback has been incorporated into the document.

@ryneeverett I like the idea of requiments.pip and requirements.freeze as well. I will heavily consider that.

Updated to Pipfile and Pipfile.freeze in 15a1f0d

FWIW, requirements.pip and requirements.freeze seem like much better names to me! Thanks @glyph, @jacebrowning, and @ryneeverett!

[dstufft]

I think that requirements.pip is a non-starter, since it's in common use today for what currently exists. I also don't think that Filefile is an antipattern, they've existed since the 1970's, if software can't handle them by now then maybe that software is just bad.

[sethmlarson]

I agree that the .lock extension is especially awkward.

[kennethreitz]

Agreed!

I don't have an opinion on .lock vs .freeze, so I'm fine with either.
