As an opinionated-but-still-free combination of tools, there's also
Kenneth Reitz's pipenv: https://github.com/kennethreitz/pipenv

Understandably, that's mainly geared towards network service hosting
environments like Heroku, but it also works pretty well for command
line apps, testing environment setups, etc.

However, none of the available options will get away from the fact
that only end users know their own operational requirements - we can't
provide a single universal right answer, because there isn't a single
universal use case.

Cheers,
Nick.
