I have Python 2.7.8 installed on my Windows 7 machine, which comes with pip already preinstalled. I'm able to successfully install new packages from pip and now I need to add a custom repository URL to the install list of pip.
To do so I need to modify file pip.ini which is in %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini, according to the official manual. However, there isn't any pip folder anywhere (not in Roaming, not in Local, not in LocalLow)
nor is there a *PyPa folder in C:\ProgramData\PyPA\pip\pip.conf.
Where should I search for pip.ini? How can I add a foreign repository to the install list?
I finally got it sorted.
Apparently for Windows users, the pip.ini configuration file is not created. However, it can be added manually!
Just create a new %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini and the content of a custom repository:
[install]
find-links = https://<login>:<password>@your.repo.com/custom/url
