Preventing caching

See original GitHub issue

pip has the argument --no-cache-dir which comes in very handy when building small docker images. Does pipenv have a similar option?

See #451 — you can set this with pip.conf directly

The “pointer” appears to be to prevent pip from caching, not pipenv. I’m trying to run pipenv in a production context where we don’t have a writable disk, and AFAICT, pipenv, not pip, wants to call mkdir("/.cache") (/ here is $HOME), which fails, as / isn’t writable. (Nothing is.)

That is, it’s doing:

stat("/.cache/pipenv", 0x7ffc60e1c1d0)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/.cache/pipenv", 0x7ffc60e1c1d0)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/.cache", 0x7ffc60e1c1d0)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/.cache", 0x7ffc60e1c030)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/.cache", 0x7ffc60e1c030)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
mkdir("/.cache", 0777)                  = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
