support of something like pip's --no-binary flag?

[Eisbrenner]

Hi, I've been a fan of python-poetry.org for a while but had to give up on using it (I'm back to hardly versioned Conda environments) for my projects because it had no support for the pip flag --no-binary (until very recently), something crucial for me (and the dependency manager I use) since I need it for the plotting library Cartopy (which cannot be installed without it).

I heard about Hatch in a podcast and the idea is quite nice and I would like to give it a try, however, I've been unable to see from the documentation if you have a way to deal with libraries which require the --no-binary flag.

So in short:
do you have an equivalent of pip's --no-binary flag and if so, how would I write that in the pyptoject.toml or the hatch.toml?

Cheers and thanks! :)

Hey! Similar to https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/how-to/environment/package-indices/, you can use the env var

I heard about Hatch in a podcast

Interesting, which one?

Thanks, I'll try that soon! Hm probably like this...

[envs.default.env-vars]
PIP_NO_BINARY="shapely cartopy"

Ah the podcast, I had to dig a bit but found it in the end :)

Thanks! Yup, please let me know if that works for you
