pip_args? · Issue #204 · pypa/pipx
github.com
hey, I'm not 100% sure how to use the --pip-args properly. I wanted to upgrade to a pre-release version and I had to run the command in this strange way (that's single quotes inside of the double q...

I just encountered the same confusion as others in the linked thread. The pipx tool has this in the man page:

       --pip-args PIP_ARGS
              Arbitrary pip arguments to pass directly to pip install/upgrade commands

So of course I had a space after --pip-args. It failed because the software does not work as documented. Someone reported this in 2019. The software is still inconsistent with the docs. Yet someone closed the bug report.

Re-opening or requesting re-opening requires licking Microsoft’s boots. I’m done with MS Github logins.

UPDATE: prime example of someone who thinks inconsistent docs are “not a bug” in a crossposted thread.

    Call it whatever you want, “bug” or not, it’s an issue that needs action taken, and no action has yet been taken. Brushing you off like this is not acceptable.
