proxypypi 1.0

Usage

Setup of proxypypi requires:

1. “pip install proxypypi”

2. cd to some directory you would like files to be cached in

3. proxypypi run

There are some command-line arguments (see “proxypypi -h”) that allow some run-time behaviour control. Notably “-d” which can configure the directory to cache in.

Additionally the proxy may run in the background, in which case you need to supply three additional command-line arguments: “-P” (PID file), “-l” (log file) and “-o” (console output file) and use one of the daemon control commands instead of “run”. See “proxypypi -h” for the commands.

Once running you may perform pip installs using the proxy by including the proxy in the pip command line using the “-i” argument:

pip install -i http://proxy_host:proxy_port/simple/ package_to_install

Any packages not cached will be fetched into the cache and the install will continue as normal.
