Virtualenv specific pip config files

Found this after I had posted the question:

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#config-file

 ~/.pip/pip.conf

You will need to set:

 ~/.virtualenvs/env1/pip.conf
 ~/.virtualenvs/env2/pip.conf

It will still inherit from:

 ~/.pip/pip.conf

But will allow it to be overwritten for each environment.

Just to update the answer here with the latest from the pip documentation:

Inside a virtualenv:

On Unix and macOS the file is $VIRTUAL_ENV/pip.conf

On Windows the file is: %VIRTUAL_ENV%\pip.ini

The $VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable gets set once you've activated the particular virtual environment you're interested in.
