Description

Hello,
I need to install poetry on a server that is not connected to internet.
When executing the installation script previsously copied on the server, I encounter a problem when the script attempts to retrieve metadata. This seems to be due to this line in the script : METADATA_URL = "https://pypi.org/pypi/poetry/json".
Would it be possible to allow to set this parameter via an environment variable, e.g. POETRY_METADATA_URL ?
In advance, many thanks
Kind regards
Arnaud
