This question explains how to make pip download and save packages. If I follow this formula, Pip will download wheel (.whl) files if available.
(venv) [user@host glances]$ pip download -d wheelhouse -r build_requirements.txt
Collecting wheel (from -r build_requirements.txt (line 1))
File was already downloaded /usr_data/tmp/glances/wheelhouse/wheel-0.29.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting pex (from -r build_requirements.txt (line 2))
File was already downloaded /usr_data/tmp/glances/wheelhouse/pex-1.1.18-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting requests (from -r build_requirements.txt (line 3))
File was already downloaded /usr_data/tmp/glances/wheelhouse/requests-2.12.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting pip (from -r build_requirements.txt (line 4))
File was already downloaded /usr_data/tmp/glances/wheelhouse/pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Collecting setuptools (from -r build_requirements.txt (line 5))
File was already downloaded /usr_data/tmp/glances/wheelhouse/setuptools-32.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Successfully downloaded wheel pex requests pip setuptools
Every single file that it downloaded was a Wheel - but what if I want to get a different kind of file?
I actually want to download the sdist (.tar.gz) files in preference to .whl files? Is there a way to tell Pip what kinds of files I actually want it to get? So instead of getting a directory full of wheels I might want a bunch of tar.gz files.

Overview. pip download does the same resolution and downloading as pip install , but instead of installing the dependencies, it collects the downloaded distributions into the directory provided (defaulting to the current directory).
The pip download command can be used to download packages and their dependencies to the current directory (by default), or else to a specified location without installing them.
Once pip has a list of compatible distributions, it sorts them by version, chooses the most recent version, and then chooses the "best" distribution for that version. It prefers binary wheels if there are any, and if they are multiple it chooses the one most specific to the install environment.
use pip download --no-binary=:all: -r requirements.txt
According to the pip documentation:
--no-binary:
Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all binary packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Note that some packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.
It worked for me!
