The pipx and pip man pages are inconsistent with the behavior in a variety of
ways. The pip man page shows these options:
===✂------------------------------
--log-file <path>
Path to a verbose non-appending log, that only logs failures. This
log is active by default at ~/.pip/pip.log.
--log <path>
Path to a verbose appending log. This log is inactive by default.
--proxy <proxy>
Specify a proxy in the form [user:passwd@]proxy.server:port.
===✂------------------------------
The pipx tool does not pass along those pip options. I am trying to
update a python app (argos-translate) and recompile it. I followed
this procedure as root in /usr/local/src/argos-translate:
$ git fetch origin; # to update from this repo:
https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate.git
$ git merge origin/master
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ PIPX_HOME=${prefix:-/opt/}/pipx PIPX_BIN_DIR=${prefix:-/usr/local}/bin pipx
install --pip-args='--proxy http://127.0.0.1:8118 --log-file
~/logs/pip-argostranslate.err --log ~/logs/pip-argostranslate.log'
/usr/local/src/argos-translate
That last command is mostly¹ in accordance with the man page syntax. The output
is:
===✂------------------------------
usage: pipx [-h] [--version]
{install,inject,upgrade,upgrade-all,uninstall,uninstall-all,reinstall,reinstall-all,list,run,runpip,ensurepath,environment,completions}
...
pipx: error: unrecognized arguments: --log-file --log
/root/logs/pip-argostranslate.log /usr/local/src/argos-translate
(env) localhost:/usr/local/src/argos-translate# PIPX_HOME=${prefix:-/opt/}/pipx
PIPX_BIN_DIR=${prefix:-/usr/local}/bin pipx install --pip-args='--proxy
http://127.0.0.1:8118 --log-file ~/logs/pip-argostranslate.err --log
~/logs/pip-argostranslate.log' /usr/local/src/argos-translate
'argostranslate' already seems to be installed. Not modifying existing
installation in '/opt/pipx/venvs/argostranslate'. Pass '--force'
to force installation.
===✂------------------------------
Those args should be recognised.
Footnotes:
¹ I say “mostly“ because the man page indicates that there should be a
space after “--pip-args”, which is how I wrote the commandline
originally. But the man page is wrong. Someone pointed that out in
2019 but it was never fixed:
https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/204
So that MS Github bug report needs to be reopened by someone who has a
working MS Github account.
