[issue67] You can't tell easy_install not to talk to the network
New submission from Glyph Lefkowitz <glyph@twistedmatrix.com>: If I want to use easy_install for nice dependency resolution, there's no way (that I can figure out, at least) to tell it "never talk to the network, use only this local directory where you can find dependencies". ---------- messages: 260 nosy: glyph priority: feature status: unread title: You can't tell easy_install not to talk to the network _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue67> _______________________________________________

Sure you can. To tell it to pull ONLY from a local directory, use: easy_install -H None -f /tmp/cachedir SQLObject and to *generate* that directory when you -are- online, use: easy_install -zmaxd /tmp/cachedir SQLObject It's the '--allow-hosts=None' or '-H None' that does the magic. BTW my slides and handouts from the tutorial I ran at PyCon about distutils, setuptools and buildout are linked to at the bottom of the page: http://us.pycon.org/2009/tutorials/schedule/1PM3/ It's broken into four sub-topics of virtualenv, distutils, setuptools and buildout and the handout text includes many tips and techniques that are not often well known like the one you asked about. -Jeff
By the way, these options and the procedures are also listed in the official documentation at: <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-on-un-networked-machines>http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-on-un-networked-machines and: <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#restricting-downloads-with-allow-hosts>http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#restricting-downloads-with-allow-hosts At 03:17 PM 4/3/2009 -0500, Jeff Rush wrote:
