Hi, We manage our projects with setuptools. For this we have a local PyPi mirror with just our required packages. This mirror is specified in our setuptools environments using the index_url directive. The basic idea is: we don't want to access the internet when installing packages. Today I had to realized that we haven't been reaching that goal as Pylons contains a dependency_links pointing to pylonshq.com. So the question would be: is there any way to avoid following any dependency_links and/or find_links paths and only use the index_url? I have quickly checked the setuptools source code and couldn't find any way to do this. Would a patch be accepted if I implemented that behavior? Are there other approaches to do what I'm trying to do? Thanks in advance Patrice
