Is there some way to prevent this? I'd like to ensure that pypi is never checked.

Hello

You can use the --allow-hosts option to filter out authorized sites

see :

Although, I think you might encouter a bug with links starting with file://

The next setuptools release will fix that bug.

Great thanks

But really, there's very little reason to use file:// links, anyway. The only thing they do differently from plain paths is that if you use a file:// url to point to an HTML file, easy_install will scan it for links. (It doesn't do that for regular filenames.) So, unless you are using HTML files for your local index, there's no need to use file:// urls with --find-links.

Yes that was it, a local html file built by a third party script, Tarek
