keyring-subprocess

A minimal dependency keyring backend for lean virtual environments.

This is achieved by locating a virtual environment which has keyring-subprocess[landmark] installed whose keyring-subprocess can be found on the PATH. keyring-subprocess is effectively a renamed keyring executable and serves as a more unique landmark file.

The virtual environment that is found this way should have the actual keyring backend(s) you need installed into it.

Pros

Minimal dependencies for a clean pip list command and to always be compatible with the rest of your dependencies. Which makes it more suitable to be added to PYTHONPATH after installing with Pip's --target flag.
Has keyring and the minimal required dependencies vendored to make the chainer and null backends work.
- It uses the ModuleSpec apis provided by PEP451 to make the vendored keyring importable.
Provices an extra named landmark that will provide the keyring-subprocess executable.
Provides a virtualenv Seeder named keyring-subprocess.
- Set VIRTUALENV_SEEDER to keyring-subprocess or set seeder in the config file to the same value.
Provides a sitecustomize entry point for the sitecustomize-entrypoints package. This can be useful if you install it somewhere that is not a so-called site directory by using Pip's --target flag.
- You can install both keyring-subprocess and sitecustomize-entrypoints in one go by executing pip install keyring-subprocess[sitecustomize].
  - sitecustomize-entrypoints is required if you if keyring-subprocess is installed into a PYTHONPATH location.

Cons

It does require keyring-subprocess[landmark] to be installed into a virtual environment whose keyring-subprocess can be found on the PATH.
Adds, or replaces, points of failures. Depending on how you look at it.
Being able to import keyring, importlib_metadata and zipp but pip list not listing them might be confusing and not very helpful during debugging.

Example on Windows

This is a Powershell script which installs Pipx into C:\Users\Public\.local\pipx.

First it sets some environment variables, including VIRTUALENV_SEEDER.
Then it installs keyring via Pipx and injects artifacts-keyring and keyring-subprocess[landmark] into the virtual environment of keyring.
Lastly it installs keyring-subprocess and sitecustomize-entrypoints into Pipx's shared virtualenv which Pipx makes sure is available to all virtual environments it manages.

When using your new Pipx installation to install Poetry or Pipenv the virtual environment created by virtualenv will contain keyring-subprocess. This should cause installing the project dependencies from your private repository to succeed!

Assuming of couse that your private repository requires artifacts-keyring to authenticate, and is therefor a Azure DevOps Artifact Feed. If this is not the case this should be easily fixed by replacing artifacts-keyring by the package that provides the keyring backend that you actually need.
