I've got a custom pypi server running and am wondering how to point all references to https://pypi.python.org/ from there to my custom server?
I want to be able to cover cases of a user calling pip / easy_install of a package (so they don't have to remember to do -i or -f) as well as someone doing python setup.py install using setuptools with install_requires in the setup.py.
Is there some global config or setting I can do to get all these different methods to look at my local server? I imagine doing some network-proxy-type magic to route http://pypi.python.org/ to my custom server would be one way to go but unfortunately that's not an option.
Thanks!
The following configuration will disable the pypi repository index and make your index the only index used by pip and easy_install. The setuptools install command is basically a shortcut to run the easy_install command on the current project. So, that would work too.
# Add the following to ~/.pydistutils.cfg for easy_install
[easy_install]
index_url = http://localhost:8000/
# Add the following to ~/.pip/pip.conf for pip
[global]
index-url = http://localhost:8000/
Look at easy_install's and pip's documentation for more information.
You could provide your users with a simple python script that creates these config files for them.
You need to change 2 files：
For distutils
This concerns commands like python setup.py install.
For pip
This concerns pip install mypackage commands.
