So basically there are issues with proxy server at work. They are quite persistent. One way around this is, to download the important packages once and then store them into a repository on our own internal network.

I know that Python Wheels has replaced Python Eggs and is the the format to distribute compiled packages rather than packages in the form of source code as happens with stdist. I am aware that it is possible to download a package from Pypi and then save it as a wheels package on the computer.

What I don't know is how to do this, and once I have the "wheels" file for a package with their really long names, which I expect is one solitary file per package, how do install it into python or the virtualenv using pip.

Any help is appreciated.

check https://packaging.python.org/guides/host...own-index/

that is if you want to host your own repository


if you just want to install local whl file

pip install path/to/file.whl

The hosting shall be done on my work place version control system. So the question is, is my understanding correct? Also, how do I create a Wheel for a package on Pypi?

You can host your own pypi - two alternatives are described in the link I shared

you want to package your own code into whl file or what?
