Unable to Install Package from Azure DevOps Artifacts Feed Using Pip

Hi Sumit Bhardwaj

Could you please check the following things:

1. Ensure that your PAT has the correct permissions. It should have at least Packaging (Read) permissions and also make sure the PAT is not expired.
2. Azure recommends using the artifacts-keyring package to handle authentication securely:

      pip install artifacts-keyring --pre
   

   Then try installing your package again:

      pip install <package-name> --index-url https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<your-organization-name>/_packaging/<your-feed-name>/pypi/simple
   

3. Instead of passing the index URL via CLI, you can configure it in a pip.conf (Linux/macOS) or pip.ini (Windows):

      [global]
      index-url = https://<username>:<PAT>@pkgs.dev.azure.com/ProjectName/_packaging/Apps39/pypi/simple/
   

   Make sure this file is placed in the correct location for your environment (e.g., inside your virtual environment).
4. Older versions of pip may not handle Azure feeds correctly, so upgrade pip.

      python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Please Let me know if you have any queries.

Hi Durga, thanks for your reply. I tried the above steps with new pip version, Artifacts-keyring and PAT with full access but I am still getting the above error.

Hi Sumit Bhardwaj

Please check the stack overflow which I mentioned above.

And go to https://dev.azure.com/<organization>/<project>/_artifacts/feed/<feed>/pypi

• Is auth-app-streamlit==2.0.1 listed?
• Is the feed public or private (within the organization)?

Try opening this URL in your browser:

https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<organization>/<project>/_packaging/<feed>/pypi/simple/auth-app-streamlit/

• If this gives you 401 Unauthorized, the problem is authentication.
• If it gives 404 Not Found, the package might not be properly indexed or published.

And try only using the Azure feed:

pip install auth-app-streamlit==2.0.1 \
  --index-url https://<username>:<PAT>@pkgs.dev.azure.com/<organization>/<project>/_packaging/<feed>/pypi/simple/

Even with a full-access PAT, double-check:

• The feed is shared with your project or organization.
• The package is not scoped to a different project.
• You’re using the correct organization/project/feed names in the URL.

If you can browse to the feed and locate the .whl file manually, try installing it directly:

pip install https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/ProjectName/_packaging/Apps39/pypi/download/auth-app-streamlit/2.0.1/auth_app_streamlit-2.0.1-py3-none-any.whl

This bypasses index resolution and can confirm whether the package is accessible.

Hope this helps!
