I am trying to use pip2tgz to build a pipPI compatible package for installation on a non-connected machine. I am working from a python 2.7. virtual env and have verified that pip2tgz is running from it. When I attempt to add, e.g., south the package, pip2tgz downloads the file South-0.8.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl. dir2pi does not index that file and, on the target machine, when I attempt to install south, I get the error message:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/data/www/pkgs/simple/south/'

Is it possible that pip2tgz is not respecting its python version, when it downloads packages? Can I force it to stick to the tgz format?

  • This isn't an issue I've seen before. What package are you trying to download that I could use to try and recreate the issue with? – David Wolever Jan 09 '15 at 16:41
  • @DavidWolever As you can see, this is an issue from a while ago. Also I am seriously pyn00b. I don't recall the details (but can probably recover them, if it is useful) It seems that there were two very different distribution mechanisms. "South" used the newer (Python 3 compatible) mechanism and pipPI couldn't handle it. – G. Blake Meike Jan 10 '15 at 04:15
  • Thanks! In that case, ya, it does look like the issue's been fixed. Thanks! – David Wolever Jan 10 '15 at 19:11

I had the same issue. After upgrading pip2pi to version 0.6.2 ( python wheel fixes ), my local repository worked.

so try:

pip install --upgrade pip2pi

... and recreate you local repository.

Try to locate the package on http://pypi.python.org and copy the link of the tgz file and run

pip2tgz PATH/TO/DIR URL/TO/TGZ

and remove the md5sum (everything behind the #).
