### PYPI Package Caching Proxy
By default all managed RHEL systems at PSI have configured a PYPI package caching proxy (pypi.psi.ch). This proxy is used by default for all `pip` installations on the system.

```yaml
python::use_pip_cache: false
```
!!! note
If you once had the caching proxy configured, you might need to manually remove `/etc/pip.conf` to disable the proxy again before you apply this setting.
