pip run --pip-args

[gsemet]

Hello

Using pipx 1.4, I need to manually add --pip-args in my install command to hit my private artifactory repository, despite my pip config pointing to it by default:

$ python3 -m pipx install 'pygount' --force --pip-args="--index-url=https://artifactory.my.company.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi/simple --trusted-host=artifactory.my.company.com"

How can I set this by default, by defining a configuration file or an environment variable ?

Thanks

I think it would be good to enable configuring standard pip args via an environment variable, thanks for raising this issue! I'll have a look today.

I have actually 2 pc I think configured the same way, one pipx install kind of use the global pip config, the other not, I do not understand the difference.

I would expect pipx to use pip, so if pip config is made to hit my private pipy be default I would expect pipx run to use the same, but there is a details that I do no catch

For me, with 1.5.0 pipx-managed pip can access the configuration. Have you set it globally? Also, if you run pip in one of your venvs and list the config, it should show your settings? pipx does nothing other than calling pip giving its full path.

Indeed, not tried with 1.5...

I tested not working for me and 'pip config list' command list all configurations. I tried copying 'pip.ini' to the path 'C:\Users***\pipx\shared', but it didn't work. Is there a simpler way to just list the configurations with pipx?"

C:\Users\***>pipx -v

Edit:

pip do use config files from virtual environments too %UserProfile%\Envs\environment_DIR\pip.ini
