Greetings distutils-sig,
I have a project with an autogenerated structure - that is, I ran a
"helper" application which creates a directory structure and a setup.py
for me. I am trying to build this package in a virtualenv on an isolated
machine, necessiating the step of downloading all the prerequisite
packages and making them available. I have done this and I can
successfully install most of the prerequisites by passing "--no-index"
and "-f <url>" to pip, making my full command-line:
pip install -e . --no-index -f <url>
This works up until a certain point, where pip (or something launched by
pip) tries to download from the internet. I tried adding
''--global-option '--no-index -f <url>'" to my options, but this failed.
I get the error: option --no-index -f <url> not recognized. This occurs
right after "Running setup.py install for TurboGears2" in the pip output
and after it has installed a number of other packages. [Using
--global-option was a shot in the dark, after all]. The package it is
looking for is pytz. It appears to not be finding the package when it
looks for it the first time - i.e., in the build log, it doesn't
announce that it has found the package, it just moves on to the next
package.
The system is a FreeBSD 10.2 system, vanilla except for some packages
like bash, python2.7 and well openjdk which installs a bunch of X stuff,
unfortunately. It runs as a VM under VirtualBox (latest version) on
Windows 8 (kept "up-to-date" but on version 8 not 8.1). The pip in use
is 7.0.3 under python 2.7 (because that is the latest version of pip
available in the FreeBSD ports).
I am hoping for some feedback or information that will allow me to
install my application with all of its dependencies downloaded from a
locally-available url or directory. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
KM
