Credentials in pip.conf for private PyPI

Question

I have a private PyPI repository. Is there any way to store credentials in pip.conf similar to .pypirc?

What I mean. Currently in .py

Answer 1

How about storing the Username/Password as environment variables,

export username=username
export password=password

and referring to them in the pip.conf like so:

[global]
index = https://$username:$password@pypi.example.com/pypi
index-url = https://$username:$password@pypi.example.com/simple
cert = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

I use Gitlab CI's secret variables for storing credentials. Check for an equivalent in your CI tool.
