- MyPackage.tar.gz
Go to your command prompt and type:
-::
-$ cd archive
-$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ cd archive
+ $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9000
This runs a simple http server running on port 9000 and will list all packages
(like **MyPackage**). Now you can install **MyPackage** using any python
package installer. Using Pip, you would do it like:
-::
-$ pip install --extra-index-url=http://127.0.0.1:9000/ MyPackage
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install --extra-index-url=http://127.0.0.1:9000/ MyPackage
Having a folder with the same name as the package name is **crucial** here.
I got fooled by that, one time. But if you feel that creating a folder called
**MyPackage** and keeping **MyPackage.tar.gz** inside that, is *redundant*,
you can still install MyPackage using:
-::
-$ pip install http://127.0.0.1:9000/MyPackage.tar.gz
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ pip install http://127.0.0.1:9000/MyPackage.tar.gz
