At work my only Internet access is via a locked-down PC. The IT department are not willing to install Python on it [1]. Ideally I would download packages and their dependencies from PyPi using "pip download" at the command line. Any better solutions than downloading the package in a browser, finding its dependencies manually, downloading these and so on recursively?

My dream solution would be for PyPi to provide a link to a zip file that bundled up a package and its dependencies, but I realise that this is probably a very niche requirement.

[1] Apparently they think installing Python would be incompatible with their Cyber Essentials Plus security accreditation, although it's apparently fine to have Microsoft Office 365 with a build in VBA interpreter!
