How do you host your own egg repository?

Question

Say you\'re on a team that\'s maintaining a lot of internal python libraries(eggs), and for whatever reason uploading them to pypi is not an option. How could you host the l

Answer 1

Deploy all your eggs to a directory all devs. can reach (for instance on a webserver).

To install eggs from that directory, type:

$ easy_install -H None -f http://server/vdir TheEggToInstall

or.

$ easy_install -H None -f /path/to/directory TheEggToInstall

-H None means do not allow egg download from any host (except the one named in -f).

The directory can be reachable over http or can be a directory you mount (NFS, Windows shares etc.). Perhaps even FTP works?

The easy_install documentation has information on this.
