But you could use allow-external or allow-all-external: --allow-external <package> Allow the installation of a package even if it is externally hosted --allow-all-external Allow the installation of all packages that are externally hosted https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_wheel.html#allow-external _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
