title: Can I have a virtualenv specific .pypirc file?
body: <p>Pip lets it's config file (pip.ini or pip.conf) live inside the virtualenv. That's neat if you want to make your package resolution different in a specific environment.</p>
  
  <p>But what about the .pypirc file? This normally lives in ${HOME}/.pypirc or %USERPROFILE%.pypirc (on Windows). If you try to create a .pypirc file in the virtualenv's directory it doesnt' seem to be recognized. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to specify an alternative location for this file? For example, can I put it in a virtualenv or specify an alternative location with an environment variable?</p>
