Setup https proxy for pip install command within tox environment

https, pip, proxy, python, tox

Solution

you can set env variable in tox sessions, and wraps your pip command in a script

`proxy_pip.sh`

#!/bin/bash
https_proxy=$my_https_proxy http_proxy=$http_proxy pip $@

`tos.ini`

[testenv]
setenv =    
   my_http_proxy = <proxy_url>
   my_https_proxy = <proxy_url>
install_command = proxy_pip.sh install {opts} {packages}
commands = 
    <command1>
    <command2>

Problem

I need to setup https proxy for the pip install command within tox environment. Currenly, I have something like this: ``` ... [toxenv:test] install_command = pip install {opts} {packages} commands = <command1> <command2> ... ``` If I use just pip command, like: ``` pip install <package> ``` I will get into error, because I am behind the proxy. So I do something like this and it work like a sharm: ``` https_proxy=<proxy_url> pip install <package> ``` But, the problem is that I need proxy to be setup only for pip install command, and for other commands (command1, command2, ...) https_proxy should be unset. So the question is how to setup https_proxy for pip install command only in tox and make it not set for all other commands. P.s. Doing something like this doesn't work: ``` install_command = https_proxy=<proxy_url> pip install {opts} {packages} ``` P.s.s. The pip --proxy option doesn't help too, since it sets the http_proxy only. Beforehand thanks!
