[TIP] tox, pip, git, and ssh-agent

Hellos,


[EDIT: SOLVED]

Add this to tox.ini. Do not add SSH_AGENT_PID on OS X, since that stops it
working.
passenv =
        SSH_AUTH_SOCK

Maybe this should be passed through by tox by default, as it's a fairly
common use case and is quite confusing.

[END EDIT]



When using tox, it does not seem to use the ssh-agent that pip usually uses
when cloning a git ssh based repo (hosted on bitbucket).

It asks me for a passphrase in the terminal (usually OS X asks with a GUI).
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/me/.ssh/id_rsa':

pip installs ok without tox.


Any ideas?

Versions of things tried with...
pip 1.5.6
pip 7.0.1
tox 2.0.1
OS X 10.9.x
OpenSSH_6.2p2



best regards,
