03/26/2022, 12:12 AMš Hello everyone. Iām interested in using Pants to install packages from a private Python package index hosted by Azure Artifacts. The recommended solution is to install a plugin for keyring so that pip can use it to discover the credentials: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/authentication/#keyring-support. In this case, keyring, artifacts-keyring (the plugin) and pip would all be installed in the same virtualenv so pip can find the plugin. Is this possible to do with Pants?

03/26/2022, 2:19 AMHi! Interesting use case. Let me think about this for a second.
Which version of Pants are you on?
Pants invokes Pip via Pex, and both Pex and the underlying Pip are strongly sandboxed, for secure and repeatable builds. So I don't see an easy way to do this without some code changes.
You can set
Copy code
[python-repos]
indexes.add = ["https://<your-feed-name>:<your-PAT-key>@pkgs.dev.azure.com/<your-organization-name>/<your-project-name>/_packaging/<your-feed-name>/pypi/simple/"]pants.tomlsee here for details
But obviously this is not great because it exposes your Personal Access Token
But, you can set this in your private
.pants.rcSee https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/options#pantsrc-file for details
So that should work as a workaround
And if you can open a feature request issue at https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/new/choose for the better solution of supporting keyring, that would be awesome
