This is a caching PyPI implementation that can be used as a standalone PyPI server as well as a PyPI cache.

As the name suggests, it is using spyne http://pypi.python.org/pypi/spyne

Spynepi uses some subsystems of spyne which requires optional dependencies. And also spynepi uses twisted as wsgi server

• Spyne http://github.com/arskom/spyne
• Twisted http://twistedmatrix.com/
• SQLAlchemy http://sqlalchemy.org
• Werkzeug http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/

You can get spynepi via pypi:

easy_install spynepi

or you can clone from github:

git clone git://github.com/arskom/spynepi.git

or get the source distribution from one of the download sites and unpack it.

To install from source distribution, you should run its setup script as usual:

python setup.py install

And if you want to make any changes to the spynepi code, it's more comfortable to use:

python setup.py develop

You can start spynepi with:

$ spynepi_daemon

You can upload packages with:

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

And you can download packages with:

$ easy_install --user -U -i http://localhost:7789 package
