pip -v (or maybe -vv) should show this (plus a chunk of other stuff, unfortunately, but we don't have any finer control over what gets logged (and I'm not even sure what a good UI for something like that would look like). > I would like to pass options from the pip command line to the backend > but neither --global-option or --install-option have any effect (the > config_settings argument is always None). How do I achieve this? That's basically "not implemented yet" (mostly because there's limited need for it with existing backends). So the answer to that would be to propose a PR for pip that adds support for config_settings. Sorry...
