Is there a way to query the pip command (or another way), to get the FQDN of the server pip will use (e.g., in pip install)?

bw more specific with your question, whats the goal? hostname -f shows the full fqdn of the server – djdomi Jan 15 '20 at 21:11

@djdomi: I need to exclude all `pip` servers from deep-inspection by my FortiGate firewall. Thus, I need to inform the firewall of the FQDN of the pip server.

After some more research, @djdomi, seems that all I can do is add `pypi.python.org` to my FortiGate firewall security policy, and then when PyPI redirects to an external pip server, I'd fail on that new pip server, and would have to add that new pip server to my FortiGate firewall configuration. Seems there's no way to know in advance which pip servers would be used. – boardrider Jan 21 '20 at 21:12

nslookup or dig pypi. python. org or look on the page. i. e. for Debian you could either use de. debian. org which round Robin it or select a direct mirror - maybe its also possible to pip? – djdomi Jan 22 '20 at 15:43
