You see, even though I am experienced with many packaging tools, it was not at all clear to me that pip considers the various sources in parallel.  I would have rather expected that it first looks locally, and only if there's nothing there, in the index.\r\n\r\nI think your text is very good.  Just one comment: I find that currently it is also not very clear that --no-index disables PyPI.  Perhaps one could add behind the first mention of PyPI:\r\n\r\n(if it has not been disabled via ``--no-index``)\r\n"}}
