Setup https proxy for pip install command within tox environment

Question

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.

Ps Doing something like this doesn't work:

install_command = https_proxy=<proxy_url> pip install {opts} {packages}

Pss The pip --proxy option doesn't help too, since it sets the http_proxy only.

Beforehand thanks!

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>
