This is a really, really, simple HTTP PyPI-like server. It is intended to be used for companies or organizations that need a private PyPi. It literally supports four functions: - Allows uploading of packages - Downloading by package (or package and version) - A / page that is navigatable with a web browser - /pypi/ listing It does not support: - Stopping you from overwriting a package with the same name / version - Registering packages - Any sort of ACLs To use it run "simplepypi". You can upload packages by: - Modify your ~/.pypirc so it looks like: [distutils] index-servers = pypi local [local] username: <whatever> password: <doesn't matter, see above> repository: http://127.0.0.1:8000 [pypi] ... - Running this on the setup.py of your favorite package: python setup.py sdist upload -r local - Then, when you want to install packages from it you do: pip install -i http://127.0.0.1:8000/pypi <your favorite package> And that's it!
