[17:09:09] <jacob__> Hello, is there a way to force pip to follow links from /simple. It is currently taking all links to be relative even if the actual anchor tag has an absolute link. I am trying to merge multiple /simple files and have pip follow the proper links to their respective package indices
[17:09:47] <agronholm> jacob__: as I recall it does not follow links since it's a security hazard
[17:10:07] <jacob__> And there is no way to force it to?
[17:10:22] <agronholm> I'm looking through the options now
[17:11:31] <jacob__> Thanks for the help! I've looked through the options as well, and I don't see a way to do it. It makes sense to prevent it because of the security risk. Any other advice to get the behavior I want? Essentially we are hosting an internal package index that may have name collisions with PyPI, and we want to always prefer our packages over the ones hosted on PyPI
[17:12:46] <agronholm> well, I use devpi in the way you describe and it seems to work for me
[17:12:59] <agronholm> after all that's what devpi was made for
[17:13:09] <jacob__> Alright. Maybe we'll check it out. Thanks again for the help!
[18:49:36] <ronny> dstufft: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2432 got a bit out of hand - i didnt handle the communication well enough and it resulted in someone ending it with a relatively inaccurate passive agressive remark
[18:57:30] <ronny> anyone up for reviewing my response before i post?
