pipenv and bash aliases

I have a core set of bash aliases defined in my .bash_profile (Mac). But when I activate a pipenv with pipenv shell, my aliases don't work and the bash alias command returns nothing.

Is there a configuration step needed to spawn pipenv shells that inherit bash aliases from the parent shell?

Aliases are never inherited. .bash_profile is only sourced for login shells, and pipenv apparently creates a nonlogin interactive shell. Aliases should be defined in .bashrc, and on a Mac (where terminal emulators starts login shells by default), add [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && source ~/.bashrc to the end of your .bash_profile.
