pep381client(pep381run) wont download packages from the official pypi server

local, pypi, python, repository

Solution

pep381 client use http, but pypi can only be used https. This program is not implemented function that redirect url. I modified the program as this.

file: (YOUR INSALLED DIRECTORY)/pep381client/__init__.py

 9: -BASE = 'http://'+pypi
    +BASE = 'https://'+pypi

28: -        _conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(pypi)
    +        _conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(pypi)

37: -        _conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(pypi)
    +        _conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(pypi)

Problem

I'm setting up a local pypi server for a LAN where there is no internet access. To do so I want to download all the packages from the official pypi server in advance(then I move the server to the LAN). It looks like the pep381client will do the job. However the command “pep381run.py py-pkgs” just happily prints out “Synchronizing xxx” (xxx is the package name) yet no any packages being found downloaded in the “py-pkgs” directory. Why? The OS is windows7 BTW.
