python - How to roll my own pypi?

Question

I would like to run my own internal pypi server, for egg distribution within my organization.

I have found a few projects, such as:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/EggBasket/
• http://plone.org/products/plonesoftwarecenter

As I understand it, pypi.python.org uses software called Cheese Shop.

My questions:

1. Why can't I use cheeseshop itself? (I can't find it, not sure it exists)
2. How do other people solve this problem? (Currently we use blush svn to distribute eggs)

*edit: This seems canonical http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPiImplementations. Still, I'm interested in feedback.

Answer 1

For light-weight solution, use pypiserver.
