Hmm. The first thing that comes to my mind is a virtual environment. I'm assuming here that you have a local system that has the same CPU architecture and Python as the main server, and which *does* have an internet connection; if that's not the case, it'll be more complicated. But in theory, this should work: local$ python3 -m venv env local$ source env/bin/activate local$ pip install -r requirements.txt At this point, you have a directory called "env" which contains all the packages listed in your requirements.txt file (you DO have one of those, right?) and everything those packages depend on. Then SSH to your server, and set up an equivalent environment: server$ python3 -m venv env server$ source env/bin/activate Copy in the contents of env/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages (where X.Y is your Python version, eg python3.7 on my system), and then try importing stuff. In theory, you should be able to load everything in just fine. If that doesn't work, you might have to manually run setup.py for each of your eighty dependencies, and possibly all of their dependencies too. I'd definitely try the venv transfer before going to that level of tedium. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
