No, when I try this it attempts to download from the internet:
"Downloading
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/Paste/Paste-1.7.3.1.tar.gz#md5=743deb94d3f54ba25522f7d5116a90f8";
while processing a dependency's dependency.
This happens despite the fact that I have this section in setup.cfg:
=========================================
[easy_install]
index_url = ../../thirdparty
I thought you were using --find-links as of your last email? So, I'm
a little confused as to what scenario you're actually trying to fix.
The next thing I would do is verify that the config file is actually
being read, by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to
"yes", and then running "easy_install -v ." and observing the output.
Like I mentioned, I do have a workaround in place that is working for
me. I post it here in case it may help others:
Please don't do that, and *nobody else should do it either*. You are
going to ERASE people's personal distutils configuration files with
that code! (You're not even checking to see if it exists first!)
I would be *extremely* upset if I tried to install your package and
it erased one of my .pydistutils.cfg files, with all their command
aliases, wikiup configs, path customizations, etc.
(Of course, when run under easy_install control, the sandbox should
catch your setup script's antics and terminate it with an error
without harming any files, but still... it's pure evil and the sort
of thing that should NEVER, ever be done in a setup.py, on pain of
banishment from PyPI.)
