Description

This is a meta-repository which contains pointers (git submodules) used to build Python 3 packages as an alternative to PyPI.

Git submodules point to mirrors on this server rather than upstream repositories. Using mirrors enables to work offline: the source of most package dependencies I use are hosted on GitHub.

These numbers include all repositories hosted on mirrors-python. I don't use all these packages but I mirrored them just in case.

You can imagine what happens when GitHub is down...

Build script

Most packages present on pypi.franco.net.eu.org have been built using the build_python_packages.py

Submodules

1. clone this repository normally (without recrursive submodules)

   git clone https://software.franco.net.eu.org/frnmst/python-packages-source.git
   

2. to add submodules from external repositories run

   make submodules-add SUBMODULES="{submodule_URL_0} ${submodule_URL_1} ... ${submodule_URL_n}"
   

3. to add all submodules from a Gitea organization through Gitea's API run

   make submodules-add-gitea
   

   https://software.franco.net.eu.org/mirrors-python is hardcoded in the script as variables

4. to update all submodules in the index run

   make submodules-update

Client configuration

PIP

Add this to ~/.config/pip/pip.conf

[global]
timeout = 60
index-url = https://pypi.franco.net.eu.org/simple

Pipenv

shell

pipenv install --pypi-mirror https://pipy.franco.net.eu.org/simple

Pipfile

Use this as source in the Pipfile:

[[source]]
name = "pypi"
url = "https://pypi.franco.net.eu.org/simple/"
verify_ssl = true

Environment variable

This is my preferred method. Add the following to your shell configuration or profile:

export PIPENV_PYPI_MIRROR=https://pypi.franco.net.eu.org/simple
