Why pip install don't cache packages?

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

With the following environment:

$ pip --version pip 20.0.2 from /home/werner/.pyenv/versions/3.8.1/envs/test1/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

Tested with the following steps:

(test1) werner@ubuntu-01:~$ pip install six
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

  Downloading https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/packages/65/eb/1f97cb97bfc2390a276969c6fae16075da282f5058082d4cb10c6c5c1dba/six-1.14.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (10 kB)

Installing collected packages: six
Successfully installed six-1.14.0

As you can see, when I run ``pip install’’ for the second time, it will re-downloading the package instead of using the local cache.

And I also cannot find the downloaded package at the following location:

(test1) werner@ubuntu-01:~$ find ~/.cache/pip -type f -name 'six-1.14.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl'
(test1) werner@ubuntu-01:~$

Any hints?

Regards

So, to summarise, @hongyi-zhao’s remains the only occurance of this bug appearing. Neither of the other two reports are related, and they should be reported and triaged separately. Feel free to open new issues for them, but I’m going to put the awaiting response label back on this one since we still don’t have a working reproduction.
