pipenv fails to create virtual environment with pyenv python 3.8.0

Question

I am trying to create a virtual environment with python 3.8.0. I'm currently using Ubuntu 20.04. Which has python 3.8.5 installed. So I have installed pyenv and installed python 3.8.0 as well.

Problem:

When I run this command: pipenv --python 3.8.0 shell I get this error message:

Warning: Python 3.8.0 was not found on your system...
Would you like us to install CPython 3.8.0 with Pyenv? [Y/n]: Y
Installing CPython 3.8.0 with /home/tareq/.pyenv/libexec/pyenv (this may take a few minutes)...
✔ Success! 

Warning: The Python you just installed is not available on your PATH, apparently.

I have read a github issue which didn't help me. Any idea how can I solve this?

Output of which python:

/home/tareq/.pyenv/shims/python

Do you need to do this with pipenv? you can try virtualenv also — fayez, Jan 17 '21 at 10:55
Actually I work with pipenv mostly. I know virtualenv works, and I'm currently using it. But I want this issue to resolved. Thanks for your suggestion. — Tareq Monwer, Jan 17 '21 at 11:01

Before that make sure which version of python you have. By python -V.Then put that version after --python. Here is the example.

python3 -m pipenv --python 3.8 shell

Also you can specify the python version location

python3 -m pipenv --python ~/desktop/python3.8
