This python package provide a simple wrapper around Distribute to handle private projects. It is mostly intended for use in a package's setup.py script.

It provides the following features:

• Using a private package index when fetching package dependencies during python setup.py install
• Restricting the register and upload commands to a private package index, or to disable them completely
• Easy support for authenticated URLs when accessing the index.

The restricted_pkg package requires Distribute, and supports Python 2.6 and later (including Python3).

In your setup.py script, ensure you have the following lines:

from setuptools import find_packages
from restricted_pkg import setup

setup(
    ...,
    private_repository="https://@myrepo.example.tld/path/to/repo",
    install_requires=[
        "distribute",
        "restricted_pkg",
    ],
)
