How do you configure pypi under Windows?
On my Mac, *nix based systems I configure pip by modifying the files:
~/.pypirc~/.pip/pip.conf
The documentation that I've found so far, says that under windows you need to set the HOME environment variable and place the files in:
%HOME%\.pypirc%HOME%\pip\pip.conf
However, this doesn't seem to work for me and when I try to use pip to install a package from one of our alternate servers the package can't be found. Any suggestions?
Links I've found so far
- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/devpi-server/0.8 (see section on permanent pip configuration)
- http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/configuration.html (see section on config file)
Answer
The pip configuration docs at PyPA tell you to use a pip.ini file stored either:
- Globally at
C:\ProgramData\pip\(Win7 and up), or - per-user at
%HOME%\pip\or - per-virtualenv at the virtualenv root
In case of multiple pip.ini files, per-user settings override global settings. See the docs for more details.
