How to configure Python pip to look for packages in a private index first?

+5
−0

When I run pip install foo, pip looks for foo in PyPi.

I want it to look for it first in a private repo, let's say pypi.bar.com. Only if foo cannot be found in pypi.bar.com, should pip then look for it in PyPi.

How can I configure pip to do this?

According to this thread, pip config set global.extra-index-url seems to be the way to globally set extra sources for the packages.

While the option exists in the docs as a command line argument, I could not find it in this configuration guide.

I guess that directly editing the configuration file is also an option as per this answer.
