Add support for specifying package to use from global site-packages

[1600]

Frequently I use package installed in global site-packages to perform task like debugging or performance tuning, but I don't want to create a virtualenv via --system-site-packages , because that would enable access to all of the packages in global site-packages, which is excessive and not fine-grained.

Is it possible to add support for specifying packages to use from global site-packages in somewhere, maybe Pipfile?

If it is just a single package, pipenv run pip install somepackage can do that easily. It is fast without locking.

If you still would like to have this feature, you may need submit a PEEP for that. https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/blob/master/peeps/PEEP-000.md

@1600 Are you still looking for this, and is this basically requesting the ability for pipenv install package --system to work with fewer warnings/problems, or is the problem more nuanced then that?
