Behavior change between 8.1.2 and 9.0.1 of pip breaks --extra-index-url in requirements files

• Pip version: 9.0.1
• Python version: Python 2.7.13
• Operating system: Debian Stretch

Description:

When moving from Debian Jesse to Stretch, the newer version of pip gets picked up, and ends up breaking our docker build. Our requirements.txt file contains the following, and worked successfully when using pip version 8.1.2

grpcio

--extra-index-url <SANITIZED>
wrigley==0.0.4
junos-eznc
python-consul
retry

Moving to 9.0.1 results in the following error

@artdgn your comment is related to #6158 not this one.

Oh, yeah. Thanks for the correction. 18.0 and 18.1 of course. I’ve updated the comment.
