Pants

Does anyone know how to access environment variables in the pants.toml for a index url? I need to access creds for a private pypi repo
```[python-repos]
indexes.add = []```

my format is
`https://&lt;user&gt;:&lt;password&gt;:<http://test.com|test.com>`

added in <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/15087> in 2.12!

In the meantime, you can use a .pantsrc config file in your project

or use environment variables <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/options#environment-variables>

and still not clear on the pants environment variable access. I did name my environment variables as `PANTS_&lt;system_name&gt;_USER`

re env var: you can set `PANTS_PYTHON_REPOS_INDEXES="+[\"foo.bar.{SOME_ENV_VAR}\"]"

Does that make sense?

See <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/options#pantsrc-file> for .pants.rc. The idea is that you would have each developer hardcode the value you want in that file

You can add it to gitignore, so you don't have the security concerns

Or, again, your third option is to use pants 2.12 and that new feature
