Installing private packages in app engine from a google artifact registry

I am trying to modularize our code, and running into difficulties installing private packages on app engine. We have a repository on GCP in the same project, so I would think this is not too difficult.

My requirement.txt looks like:

--extra-index-url=https://us-central1-python.pkg.dev/myproject/my-python-repo/simple/
Flask==2.0.1
my-new-package

I can pip install the package locally, and it uses the keyrings.google-artifactregistry-auth package to authenticate.

The deployment fails with:

  File "/opt/python3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_internal/utils/misc.py", line 218, in ask_input
    return input(message)
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

This is clearly pip asking for a username, where i Is google's own keyring package not available in its own environment? This Suggests so. Of course adding it to requirements.txt has no effect, as it is too late.

How can I install packages properly?

A possible solution is to:

--extra-index-url=_json_key_base64:[email protected]/myproject/my-python-repo/simple/

Where KEY is the result of base64 -w 0 < credentials.json

Of course this then requires some rewriting of the requirements.txt file in your deployment pipeline to ensure service account credentials are secured in repository variables.
