As an aside I have a perfect example to back up what Paul is saying below. I work for a large corporation where developers are permitted to install python modules on their development machines, (subject to some licence restrictions), but the proxy settings required to get to PyPi vary from user to user, site to site, day to day (sometimes hour to hour) and connection type to connection type, e.g. If you are connected via WiFi you need to use a different proxy to that needed if you are on a wired connection and on a VPN (we have more than one in use) different again.
FYI there's an issue open on pip to allow for multiple proxies. I have this exact situation as well. https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8232 -- Kind regards, Stefano Borini
