pip has a -q/–quiet flag that works ideally from the command line. I’m using an automated deployment process (Amazon Elastic Beanstalk), and the tools use pip to install from a requirements file.
Unfortunately, pip is generating non-error output that’s causing EB to abort due to its logger being unable to handle non-ASCII output.
Since I can’t apply the quiet flag to the pip command directly (it’s run automatically), is there a per-line flag I can set in my requirements file or an environment variable that would suppress pip’s output?
After more digging, this is a pending feature request for pip in github:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/271
Temporary workaround: Using a separate bash script to invoke pip per-line until this is implemented, published, and available on Elastic Beanstalk.
