Updating the pip.conf file to use https

Question

I am having trouble configuring my pip.conf file to stipulate that PIP should look for downloads from https://pypi.python.org/simple/ rather than http://pypi.python.org/simple/

Answer 1

You should use index-url = https://pypi.python.org/simple/ rather than find-links in your config. This will replace the default rather than just adding another option (which is what find-links does).
