How can I specify the server where an egg is?

In buildout I can enumerate eggs by name:

eggs =
  aa.ee
  ee.ii
  ii.oo
  oo.uu

By default, all that eggs are retrieved from https://pypi.python.org. How can I specify that the egg ii.oo must be retrieved from another package repository? For example I want ot specify that an specific egg is in http://example that runs using pypiserver.

Solution

  • It is possible indicate where to retrieve the egg from including the full path to it in the find-lings parameter. The following example is taken from the pip docs:

    eggs = PILwoTk
find-links = http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty/PILwoTk-1.1.6.4.tar.gz
