Why is my pipenv stuck in the "Locking..." stage when installing [numpy|opencv|pandas]?
When running pipenv install pandas or pipenv update it hangs for a really long time with a message and loading screen that says it's still locking. Why? What do I need to do?

Your package(s) are being installed and your wheel is being built
Perhaps better terminology to describe this state would be 'Building and Locking...' or something similar.
This is especially likely to happen if you're installing numpy, opencv, pandas, or other large packages.
What's going on in the background is that pipenv is downloading your package and maybe building the wheel.
The remedy in this case is often a strong dose of patience.
