python - how to create local own pypi repository index without mirror?

Question

We have several own python packages and want to create local pypi repository for them using simple interface like https://pypi.python.org/simple/

This repository I want to create for local only without any mirrors due to security reason, and it will be put under apache's control

The command pypimirror looks has to be initialized once, which needs to mirror.

How can I generate PyPi Simple Index based on local python packages.

Any other simple scripts for this ?

Answer 1

We had a similar need at my company. Basically how can we upload "closed source" packages to an index while being able to install them as if they were on PyPI?

We have sponsored a project called devpi which acts as a PyPI cache (packages you access from PyPI will be cached on your server) as well as a powerful and fast index server. The documentation is available at http://doc.devpi.net/latest/.

Next on the roadmap is mirroring for multi geos deployment. To kick the tires on your machine takes about 5 minutes (look at the quick start guides). Finally devpi is compatible with both pip and easy_install (i.e. you do not need the devpi client installed on your machine).

Hope this help.
