Setting up a local PyPi server with custom set of packages

Question

I want to set up a local PyPi server with a custom set of packages and all their dependencies.

What I have right now is a list of packages in format:

django==1.4.3
celery==3.0.12
uwsgi==1.2.6
pillow==1.7.7
...

and I would like to have a local PyPi server which can serve all these eggs and their dependencies.

How can I achieve this?

Ideally I would like to have a tool which can take requirements.txt file as an input, download all listed packages and copy them into a local pypi.

Solution

You set up a local pypi server, and only provide those eggs and dependencies in the repository...

All this is available through googling 'local pypi server'.

EDIT

It would be simple to write a script to parse your requirements.txt file and pull the packages into your local repository - but ideally this is something you will attempt yourself before asking for help with.

a script that generates a simple repository with N recent versions of 4000 most used packages on pypi. Advantage is it can hold multiple versions as in pypi. gist.github.com/harisankar-krishna-swamy/…
