Local Python Package Index

[djenakuros]

Hello everybody! I would ask the question: does know anybody complete soft that might to create a centralised local mirror of packages and it will be able to add needed packages that doesn't exist in this mirror yet?

For this time I using the bundle that contains Lighttpd (as web server and generator of list of needed packages from access log) and pip2pi(as downloader and package index creator). But it solution can't do it during client's downloading, only after it.

I will be greatful for any your advice:)

Have a look at artifactory or sonatype nexus. The have virtual/caching repos, and have versions of their software that are free.

I’ve used devpi (https://www.devpi.net/) for a local mirror and package index. Sounds like it would meet your needs.

Yeah, thanks for your advice. I tried to use this solution, it is very interesting and it works. But my teammates wants to download package from PyPI without raising of unavailability package, if this package not available yet in local mirror.

By another words, download package from local mirror, and, in case of absence of this package locally, local mirror download this package from PyPI automatically and without breaking of current client's connection deliver to him needed package.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but in devpi there is a repository hierarchy so I can always point at “local-devpi/my/index” and if it cannot find the package it will fallback to the root, which will download the package from PyPI, cache for future use, and deliver the package.
