Personal PyPi
-------------
If you want to install packages from a source different from PyPI, (say, if
your packages are proprietary), you can do it by hosting a simple http server,
running from the directory which holds those packages which need to be installed.
#### Showing an example is always benificial:
Say if you are after installing a package called MyPackage.tar.gz, and assuming this is your directory structure
- archive
- MyPackage
- MyPackage.tar.gz
Go to your command prompt and type:
$ cd archive
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000
This runs a simple http server running on port 9000 and will list down all packages(like "MyPackage"). Now you can install _MyPackage_ using any python package installer. Say using Pip, you would do it like:
$ pip install --extra-index-url=http://127.0.0.1:9000/ MyPackage
Remember! having a folder with the same name as the package name is __crucial__ here.
I got fooled by that, one time. But if you feel that creating a folder called
__MyPackage__ and keeping __MyPackage.tar.gz__ inside that, is _reduntant_, you can still
install MyPackage like:
$ pip install http://127.0.0.1:9000/MyPackage.tar.gz
For Linux Distributions
