[10:48:54] <Timvde> I need to use an authenticated proxy to install packages through pip. However, I rather not type my password in a shell command. Can I make it ask for my password instead?

[13:32:15] <pombreda> Timvde: you could use an env variable?

[13:37:06] <pombreda> or write a pip wrapper script asking for the password?

[13:37:51] <Timvde> pombreda: Hmm, that second part sounds like a good idea :)

[13:38:15] <Timvde> Also, lesson of the day: using @ in your password doesn't work with username:password@host...

[13:38:28] <pombreda> :D

[13:38:29] <Timvde> I might have leaked the last part of my password to the sysadmins now, oops

[13:38:59] <pombreda> Timvde: trust none. Change your password :D

[13:39:07] <Timvde> (depends on how verbose their logging is, but let's assume it's leaked)

[13:39:14] <Timvde> Was planning to ;)

[13:39:39] <Timvde> Also finally gives me a good reason to migrate to a password manager

[13:39:46] <pombreda> note that you can also set an HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY env var. pip honors it afaik

[13:40:01] <Timvde> pombreda: yes, I found that out :)

[13:40:07] <moldy> hi

[13:40:09] <moldy> what is the best practice for specifying that my package needs a certain minimum version of setuptools? just docs?

[13:40:10] <Timvde> And that's how I proceeded and finally leaked my password :P

[13:40:44] <pombreda> moldy: you can set that up in setup.py proper afaicr in the section .....

[13:41:08] <moldy> pombreda: hmm, in install_requires?

[13:41:20] <pombreda> likely so.

[13:41:48] <pombreda> but this might create a strange loop though it may work

[13:43:35] <moldy> pombreda: hmmm, that doesn't help in my case, i think. i am using the new environment marker syntax, so my egg_info step requires a recent setuptools

[13:47:01] <pombreda> you can check setuptools.__version__ once you imported it and fail gracefully so the user van update

[13:47:03] <pombreda> *can

[13:49:48] <moldy> that might be a good idea
