tox-pip-version | A tox plugin to select your pip version

tox-pip-version is a Python library. tox-pip-version has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can install using 'pip install tox-pip-version' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

This is a tox plugin that preinstalls a specific version of pip in each tox environment. This works around the default behavior of tox/virtualenv that always installs the latest version pip. It is an improvment over the VIRTUALENV_NO_DOWNLOAD=1 option that does not install the latest version, but could result in usage of an outdated version of pip. Recommendation: Do not pin the pip version long term. You get more stable repeatable builds, but at the cost of using an outdated (possibly vulnerable) package. This should be used as a temporary fix for breakages in upstream pip, or in conjunction with a regular process to update the version pin. Note: This relies on an unstable tox plugin interface. You may experience breakage with new tox versions. If you do, please feel free to report the issue on Github.
