pypiserver - minimal PyPI server for use with pip/easy_install
==============================================================================

pypiserver is a minimal PyPI compatible server. It can be used to
serve a set of packages and eggs to easy_install or pip.
Installation and Usage/Quickstart
=================================
pypiserver will work with python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7. It will *not* work
with python versions >= 3 or < 2.5.
Run the following commands to get your PyPI server up and running::
pip install pypiserver
mkdir ~/packages
# copy some source packages or eggs to this directory
pypi-server -p 8080 -r ~/packages
pip install -i http://localhost:8080/simple/ ...
Optional dependencies
=====================
- pypiserver ships with it's own copy of bottle. It's possible to use
bottle with different wsgi servers. pypiserver chooses any of the
following paste, cherrypy, twisted, wsgiref (part of python) if
available.
Bugs
=============
pypiserver does not implement the full API as seen on PyPI_. It
implements just enough to make easy_install and pip install work.
The following limitations are known:
- pypiserver doesn't support uploading files. One might also consider
that a feature. scp provides a nice workaround.
- pypiserver doesn't implement the XMLRPC interface: pip search
will not work.
- pypiserver doesn't implement the json based '/pypi' interface. pyg_
uses that and will not work.
