Paul Moore added the comment:
In ensurepip, _disable_pip_configuration_settings has the line:
os.environ['PIP_CONFIG_FILE'] = os.devnull
On Windows, os.devnull does not behave like a real file in that
os.path.exists(os.devnull) is False even though opening it works fine. So that
line of code is not portable to Windows.
The problem in pip us in baseparser.py in ConfigOptionParser:
def get_config_files(self):
config_file = os.environ.get('PIP_CONFIG_FILE', False)
if config_file and os.path.exists(config_file):
files = [config_file]
else:
files = [default_config_file]
There's no way to force pip to *not* use a config file.
A quick hack would be to respect a new environment variable
(PIP_NO_CONFIG_FILE) which if set says to set files to [] here. A bigger fix is
to implement a proper "isolated mode" in pip.
I could probably knock up the "quick hack" as a PR for pip reasonably easily.
This should really be discussed on the pip tracker, though. Nick - did you
raise an issue on pip for this? Assuming you did, can you post the reference
here?
Either way, ensurepip needs to be changed to use whatever mechanism pip
implements. I am against special casing os.devnull in pip just to make this
work (although it would address the issue).
