DjangoPyPI is a Django application that provides a re-implementation of the Python Package Index.

The first step is to get userpypi into your Python path.

Simply add userpypi to your list of eggs and run buildout again it should downloaded and installed properly.

If you have setuptools installed, you can use easy_install userpypi

Download and unpack the source then run:

$ python setup.py install

Add userpypi to your INSTALLED_APPS setting and run syncdb again to get the database tables¹.

Then add an include in your url config for userpypi.urls:

urlpatterns = patterns("",
    ...
    url(r'', include("userpypi.urls"))
)

This will make the repository interface be accessible at /pypi/.

Assuming you are running your Django site locally for now, add the following to your ~/.pypirc file:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    pypi
    local

[pypi]
username:user
password:secret

[local]
username:user
password:secret
repository:http://localhost:8000/pypi

To push the package to the local pypi:

$ python setup.py register -r local sdist upload -r local

If you don't have Python 2.6 please run the command below to install the backport of the extension for multiple repositories:

$ easy_install -U collective.dist

Instead of using register and dist command, you can use mregister and mupload which are a backport of python 2.6 register and upload commands that supports multiple servers.

To push the package to the local pypi:

$ python setup.py mregister -r local sdist mupload -r local
