There's not much difference between installing and downloading. You could simply install all the packages to a virtualenv & get the packages from the `site-packages` folder — rdas, Jun 30 '20 at 19:34

Just download the packages?

Then you can use pip command

pip download <package name>==<version>

If you want to make a python script, you can use subprocess

subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'download', 
'<packagename>==<version>'])

I do not want to do it manually. I want to write a script which can do it for me. – Smruti Sahoo Jul 01 '20 at 02:35

Usually you'd use:

pip install --target=/path/to/install/to -r requirement.txt

This should download all packages in requirement.txt to the path you specify.

Seems like you're still missing this bit of the question: "_I want to **write a python script** that can download all the python packages_". – sinoroc Jul 13 '20 at 16:05
As a .whl or installed package – CodinGuy Jul 13 '20 at 16:36
