You can point pip or easy_install to the root/pypi/+simple/
index, serving as a transparent cache for pypi-hosted packages.
Each user (which can represent a person, project or team) can have
multiple indexes and upload packages and docs via standard twine or
setup.py invocations. Users and indexes can be manipulated through
devpi-client_ and a RESTful HTTP API.
Each index can be configured to merge in other indexes so that it serves
both its uploads and all releases from other index(es). For example, an
index using root/pypi as a parent is a good place to test out a
release candidate before you push it to PyPI.
Get started easily and create a permanent devpi-server deployment
including pre-configured templates for nginx and process managers.
The complementary devpi-client_ tool
helps to manage users, indexes, logins and typical setup.py-based upload and
installation workflows.
See https://doc.devpi.net on how to get started and further documentation.
