Pip Find Local Archives

See pip help install:

-f, --find-links If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or file:// url that’s a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.

For a setup.py package, create wheel package by

python setup.py bdist_wheel

Then copy this package into a directory:

cp dist/{package}-{version}-py3-{x}-{y}.whl /tmp/whl/

Install this package by:

pip install -f /tmp/whl {package}

If you release a newer version, pip will handle upgrade things for you.
