installing python packages without internet and using source code as .tar.gz and .whl

Question

we are trying to install couple of python packages without internet.

For ex : python-keystoneclient 

For that we have the packages downloaded from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-keystoneclient/1.7.1 and kept it in server.

However, while installing tar.gz and .whl packages , the installation is looking for dependent packages to be installed first. Since there is no internet connection in the server, it is getting failed.

For ex : For python-keystoneclient we have the following dependent packages

stevedore (>=1.5.0) six (>=1.9.0) requests (>=2.5.2) PrettyTable (<0.8,>=0.7) oslo.utils (>=2.0.0) oslo.serialization (>=1.4.0) oslo.i18n (>=1.5.0) oslo.config (>=2.3.0) netaddr (!=0.7.16,>=0.7.12) debtcollector (>=0.3.0) iso8601 (>=0.1.9) Babel (>=1.3) argparse pbr (<2.0,>=1.6) 

When i try to install packages one by one from the above list, once again its looking for nested dependency .

Is there any way we could list ALL the dependent packages for installing a python module like python-keystoneclient.

Answer 1

This is how I handle this case:

On the machine where I have access to Internet:

mkdir keystone-deps pip download python-keystoneclient -d "/home/aviuser/keystone-deps" tar cvfz keystone-deps.tgz keystone-deps 

Then move the tar file to the destination machine that does not have Internet access and perform the following:

tar xvfz keystone-deps.tgz cd keystone-deps pip install python_keystoneclient-2.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl -f ./ --no-index 

You may need to add --no-deps to the command as follows:

pip install python_keystoneclient-2.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl -f ./ --no-index --no-deps
