pip needs internet connection when installing flask-restful's requirements about flask-restful HOT 5 CLOSED

I think this is related: Can't get setup_requires dependencies without talking to PyPI

from flask-restful.

Thanks for the research!

A while ago we setup the unit tests to run with python setup.py nosetests, but it looks like this is causing problems with the setup_requires module. Maybe we can move the test dependencies to a Makefile instead.

The old issue was here

#46

from flask-restful.

I pushed a tests branch that might fix this, but I'm unsure how you're building this without an Internet connection - I tried --download-cache, but it seems to want to check pypi to get version info. Can you try it out?

from flask-restful.

To test this, I should probably package Flask-RESTful as if it were
downloaded from Pypi. After checking out the tests branch, should I
create a virtualenv called venv, activate it, and call make release or
something like that?

To install without a local internet connection, I'm using the commands
listed at
http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/cookbook.html#fast-local-installs

Specifically when installing the dependencies for my Flask app, I run:
pip install --no-index
--find-links=file:///path/to/dir-containing-Flask-RESTful-x.x.x.tar.gz/ -r
requirements.txt

Thanks for the help!

Closing. This pull is pretty old and offline installation isn't a priority at the moment. If you have all the dependencies locally it's possible to move them into your virtualenv and call it a day.

If this is still an issue, please reopen and we'll take another look.
