Luigi,

I am not sure if using PyPi for private package distribution (what this equates to) would be a particularly nice idea. This way the PyPi would contain packages which cannot be installed
by users of PyPi.

Alas, I don't know of any ways distutils can fulfill your request in its current form.

Regards,

Simon de Vlieger

Dear All,

I'm using setuptool module to pack my software and I'd like to
distribute it via PyPI, making it installable exploiting easy_install.

I have a requirement, though, that I'm not sure is supported by
setuptools:

My software must be distributed to registered/authenticated/authorized
users only.

Well, registering the packages I might specify that the download URL
is a CGI, optionally with Basic Authentication accepting a default
user and password as described here:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#id17

This would provides me with the possibility of tracking the number of
downloads, but always with a single public user/password. But I need
to know who is downloading my packages.

Is there a way to associate a user and password to easy_install
command? Such data would be nice if passed as Basic Authentication
data to the download URL...

Thanks in advance.

Luigi
