extra-index-url is not getting used properly when used in pip.conf file

Question

This question is like pip is not using extra index url defined in pip.conf , but there was no solution to it. I'm giving more details in this question:

I have a ~/.config/pip/pip.conf file with the following lines:

[global]
trusted-host = mypypi.hopto.org
extra-index-url = http://mypypi.hopto.org:9111

And this is the output of pip3 config list :

[~/tmp8]$ pip3 config list                      
global.extra-index-url='http://mypypi.hopto.org:9111'
global.trusted-host='mypypi.hopto.org'
[~/tmp8]$ 

When I try to install a package that exists in mypypi (in a brand new folder), it throws the following error:

[~/tmp8]$ pipenv install localutils-cprietom

However, it I remove the pip.conf file and use the corresponding environment variables instead, it works with no problem. That is, if I define these environment variables:

[~/tmp5]$ echo $PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL
http://mypypi.hopto.org:9111
[~/tmp5]$ echo $PIP_TRUSTED_HOST                     
mypypi.hopto.org
[~/tmp5]$ 

This is the result in a brand new folder:

~/tmp5]$ pipenv install localutils-cprietom

To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

I can't figure out what it is I'm doing wrong with the pip.conf file.

It works as well if I install the package like this: pipenv install --extra-index-url http://mypypi.hopto.org:9111 localutils-cprietom

Answer 1

Try to put this to your Pipfile

[[source]]
url = "http://mypypi.hopto.org:9111"
verify_ssl = true
name = "hopto"

[packages]
localutils-cprietom = {version = "*", index="hopto"}
