Using poetry and pip to install dependencies with private repositories

Question

Ahoi!

We are a small team and currently using poetry for developing our python packages. Since we do have a private artifactory we have the following pyproject.toml things set:

[[tool.poetry.source]]
name = "main-private-artifactory"
url = "https://xx.yy"
default = true


[[tool.poetry.source]]
name = "special-private-arti"
url = "https://xx.mm"
Copy

Which works well when using poetry. No outgoing calls and it finds the packages quite fine. just for completeness sake the special package is specified like this in the .toml file:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
special-package = {version = "^1.0.0", source = "special-private-arti"}
Copy

Now since pip should support installing from a pyproject.toml I created a new venv and tried to install our packages dependencies by executing:

pip install . -vv
Copy

in the same directory where pyproject.toml resides. I have a few problems with that:

1. When looking at the verbose output it shows pip is calling https://pypi.org/simple which should be a BIG nono according to my pyproject.toml file.
2. It does not find the special package since it ignores my defined sources

Anyone have an approach I can try other than changing back to venv and requirements.txt?

Answer 1

I am actually fighting with the same issue. Have you already found a solution?

I found out that using the -i/--index-url of pip helps, when your private pypi server redirects also to pypi.org/simple.

So as workaround for me worked

pip install . -vv -i https://xx.mm
Copy

As a next step will check the poetry issues on gitlab.
