In addition it is necessary to configure easy_install to use an alternative
index. easy_install is used instead of pip to install anything listed under
setup_requires in setup.py during wheel builds. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_install/#controlling-setup-requires
To configure easy_install to use an alternative index, create the file
`/root/.pydistutils.cfg` with the following content.
.. code-block:: shell-session

Then, in `/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`, inform the deployment
