Create a config file setting local_packages to wherever you want to store your locally cached packages:

cat << EOF > production.ini

[app:main]
use = egg:belt

pyramid.reload_templates = false
pyramid.debug_authorization = false
pyramid.debug_notfound = false
pyramid.debug_routematch = false
pyramid.default_locale_name = en
pyramid.includes =
    pyramid_tm

jinja2.directories = belt:templates
jinja2.filters =
    route_url = pyramid_jinja2.filters:route_url_filter

local_packages = /vagrant/pypi

[server:main]
use = egg:waitress#main
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 6543

[loggers]
keys = root, belt

[handlers]
keys = console

[formatters]
keys = generic

[logger_root]
level = WARN
handlers = console

[logger_belt]
level = WARN
handlers =
qualname = belt

[handler_console]
class = StreamHandler
args = (sys.stderr,)
level = NOTSET
formatter = generic

[formatter_generic]
format = %(asctime)s %(levelname)-5.5s [%(name)s][%(threadName)s] %(message)s
EOF

Then run with pserve:

pserve production.ini

You can now install packages via your local proxy:

pip install -i http://localhost:6543/simple/ zest.releaser

Any packages that exist locally will be installed direct from disk, non-existent packages will be installed from PyPI and stored locally for future use.
