====== Build and upload packages ======

===== Setup your Python project =====

....

Verify buildability

===== Prepare pip upload ====

Edit or create a ~/.pypirc file with the following content:

[distutils]
index-servers =
  pypi
  internal

[pypi]
username:pypiusername
password:pypipasswd

[internal]

</code>


And upload your egg to the server 'internal':

<code bash>
python setup.py sdist upload -r internal
</code>


====== Install from your server ======


Now you are ready to (re)install
<code bash>
sudo  pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall  -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/simple/ myegg
