A Python cheeseshop.

What?

This is just Solem Hoel's chishop wrapped up differently.

I haven't forked the project in github because I did the movement with hg (Mercurial).

Why?

Because I wanted less than a full pypi replacement (a site wide package tool) and a more hacked about code base (doing things like auto-building some packages and making binary_dumb's available)

Installing

I use veh to declare the dependancies for this.

At the moment we're using a direct link to WooMe's Django which we haven't published yet. We'll get around to that. In the mean time any other version of django would do.

So basic steps for install:

• clone this repo
• cd repo
• veh shell
• cd cheeseshop
• python manage.py syncdb
• make a user called "nferrier" with the password "1"
• python manage.py runserver 8007

and you're going.

The best way to upload a package is using the management command 'ppadd'

Using with pip

upload packagename and then:

pip install -f http://localhost:8007 -i http://localhost:8007/simple packagename

that's it.

Anything else?

You may be interested in why I'm doing this. It's because I think I can build something like a proxy for python packages so that you can build once, upload and then make your dumb build available to machines exactly the same as yours (including yours).

Why am I doing that? so that many virtualenvs can be created over and over again with the same package but not spending the time to build it. That is very useful for big environments where you are running the same depends over and over again on the same hardware.
