I need to build an internal python package index server, starting from scratch. In house right now we use Python 2.6 and 2.7, and prefer installing packages using pip.
We don't require authentication, but it would help.
What's the easiest way to get a PyPi equivalent running internally?
I am aware of the existence of mypypi, djangopypi, Plone Software Center, and EggBasket, but I have not been able to find a simple clear set of steps to set one of these up in a modern environment; the most recent complete docs I found for any of them seemed to be Tarek Ziade's 2008 blog article on them but it's not clear how up to date that is (and that seems to pull in a huge dependency tree, to boot).
tldr; what's the best PyPi implementation, and how do I install it + configure it?

Installing Python pip on your system allows you to manage PyPI packages easily. Many of these packages can be installed just by typing python -m pip install <package-name> into a terminal or command-line. Newer versions of Python 3 (3.4 and higher) and Python 2 (2.7. 9 and higher) come preloaded with pip.
pip is the de facto package manager in the Python world. It can install packages from many sources, but PyPI is the primary package source where it's used. When installing packages, pip will first resolve the dependencies, check if they are already installed on the system, and, if not, install them.
npm, Homebrew, Yarn, RequireJS, and Bower are the most popular alternatives and competitors to pip.
Best is a relative term but I myself created ClueReleaseManager to deal with this need locally - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ClueReleaseManager
