'pip install -d folderA' with 'PIP_FIND_LINKS=file://folderB' unpacks content to the wrong folder

[alexandrul]

If PIP_FIND_LINKS point to a web page then everything is ok.

However, if PIP_FIND_LINKS point to a local folder then:

• the source archive is found in folderB
• it is unpacked in folderA
• the unpacked content is expected to be found in the temp folder internally created for this pip command invocation
• failure :D

Specifying a custom build location doesn't make any change.

I'm using pip 1.1.post2 at revision 1749343.

Looks like it is fixed in pip 7.1.2:
