python在服务器上运行慢_PyPI很慢。如何运行自己的服务器？

When a new developer joins the team, or Jenkins runs a complete build, I need to create a fresh virtualenv. I often find that setting up a virtualenv with Pip and a large number (more than 10) of requirements takes a very long time to install everything from PyPI.

Often it fails altogether with:

Downloading/unpacking Django==1.4.5 (from -r requirements.pip (line 1))

Exception:

I'm aware of Pip's --use-mirrors flag, and sometimes people on my team have worked around by using --index-url http://f.pypi.python.org/simple (or another mirror) until they have a mirror that responds in a timely fashion. We're in the UK, but there's a PyPI mirror in Germany, and we don't have issues downloading data from other sites.

So, I'm looking at ways to mirror PyPI internally for our team.

The options I've looked at are:

Running my own PyPI instance. There's the official PyPI implementation: CheeseShop as well as several third party implementations, such as: djangopypi and pypiserver (see footnote)

The problem with this approach is that I'm not interested in full PyPI functionality with file upload, I just want to mirror the content it provides.

Running a PyPI mirror with pep381client or pypi-mirror.

This looks like it could work, but it requires my mirror to download everything from PyPI first. I've set up a test instance of pep381client, but my download speed varies between 5 Kb/s and 200 Kb/s (bits, not bytes). Unless there's a copy of the full PyPI archive somewhere, it will take me weeks to have a useful mirror.

Using a PyPI round-robin proxy such as yopypi.

Copying around a virtualenv between developers, or hosting a folder of the current project's dependencies.

This doesn't scale: we have several different Python projects whose dependencies change (slowly) over time. As soon as the dependencies of any project change, this central folder must be updated to add the new dependencies. Copying the virtualenv is worse than copying the packages though, since any Python packages with C modules need to be compiled for the target system. Our team has both Linux and OS X users.

(This still looks like the best option of a bad bunch.)

Using an intelligent PyPI caching proxy: collective.eggproxy

This seems like it would be a very good solution, but the last version on PyPI is dated 2009 and discusses mod_python.

What do other large Python teams do? What's the best solution to quickly install the same set of python packages?

Footnotes:

I've seen the question How to roll my own PyPI?, but that question relates to hosting private code.

I've also recently discovered Crate.io but I don't believe that helps me when using Pip.

There's a website monitoring PyPI mirror status

Do you have a shared filesystem?

Because I would use pip's cache setting. It's pretty simple. Make a folder called pip-cache in /mnt for example.

mkdir /mnt/pip-cache

Then each developer would put the following line into their pip config (unix = $HOME/.pip/pip.conf, win = %HOME%\pip\pip.ini)

[global]

download-cache = /mnt/pip-cache

It still checks PyPi, looks for the latest version. Then checks if that version is in the cache. If so it installs it from there. If not it downloads it. Stores it in the cache and installs it. So each package would only be downloaded once per new version.
