Hey all,
PyNewbee here. I am learning a lot, and developing a package that needs to be tested on an other machine I have near me. It’s a laptop with no previous installs from my part (development). Instead of cluttering Pypi test, I’d like to use one of my own in-house servers, instead. Installing something in the likes of:
pip install 192.168.1.1 some_package
Is that within the realm of possibility?
Thanks
Melissa
Yes, there’s an entire document on setting it up at Hosting your own simple repository - Python Packaging User Guide
You can also just copy a wheel file over and pip install <path to file>
if you want to avoid using a server entirely.

Thanks Steve,
I’ll dive into the tutorial right away. The vocab is all new to me, but I assume that a “Wheel” is a complete self contained package that I could just bring over via a USB stick.
Thanks a ton!

This tutorial might be a good starting point if you’re still becoming familiar with the terms: The Packaging Flow - Python Packaging User Guide
It’s designed to make sure you get the right understanding of each concept (we’ve found for many years that it’s easy to believe they mean something different than what we intend, which eventually causes huge amounts of confusion).
