My Python Package Index (Standalone Server)
Project description
README
This package provides a private python package index server based on Zope 3.
The MyPyPi server provides everything you need for setup a private or public pypi mirror. It also allows to release closed source packages. Together with lovely.buildouthttp you can setup a secure pypi mirror which you can use for your deploy management of public and private packages. Private packages can get protected by security based on groups, roles and users. The mypypi server supports a secure way to mix private and public packages at the same time.
We recommend to install the mypypi server behind an apache proxy for SSL offload like any other SSL secured zope application. But if you like to use a very simple setup without SSL, the mypypi server should work on port 80 as a standalone application server as well.
Install
The installation process is very simple and described in the INSTALL.txt file.
Usage
Since version 1.1.0, there is a simpler concept for use the mypypi server as an index or for register/upload packages. In previous versions we had to use some undocumented apache rewrite rules. Let’s first give an overview what a pypi server is use for:
distutils – can register and upload new packages
setuptools – can register and upload new packages
easy_install – downloads packages starting at a given index
zc.buildout – downloads packages starting at a given index
mypypi – can mirror packages from another mypypi server using XML-RPC
xmlrpclib – can access a defined API, http://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopDev
urllib – can GET or POST data
In general we use a pypi server for 3 different tasks.
as index server for package download (index)
register and upload new packages (manage)
introspect for additional package information (introspect)
The mypypi server provides the following pages and methods at the root, e.g. http://host:port
/ – the distutils and setuptools API methods using GET and POST requests
- / – the XML-RPC API methods used for get detailed package and release
information, see http://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopDev
- /simple – used as PUBLIC python package index page. Note, only public
accessiible packages get listed in this index without authentication
- /private – used as THE python package index for projects with protected
packages. Using this index requires authentication (recommended)
- /eggs – a simpler python package index page listing all release files without
a page for each project (not recommended for large indexes)
Other important pages are available at:
- / – mypypi application root offering the mypypi management. This mypypi root
also offers the distutils, setuptools and xmlrpc APi methods as described above
/pypi – list the 50 newest packages, inncluding batching
- /++projects++ – supports a (WebDAV) buildout container like used in
keas.build, see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keas.build form ore information
Authentication
The authentication is done implicit in each tool. This means you don’t have to include the authentication (e.g. username:password#host:port/page) in any url. This means all tools like distutil, setuptools will use the .pypirc file for authentication. The mypypi server uses for it’s XML-RPC client this .pypirc too. You only need this file for mypypi if you like to mirror a private pypi index server whihc requires authentication.
HTTPS
Distutils and setuptools do not offer SSL support for any method they use. I do not know how someone can implement an API using SSL and non SSL. But this is how it is. It is possible run a working mypypi server only on an HTTPS port. The important methods register, upload will use a https url but the list-classifiers and verify options do not support using https.
Release
After you have a working MyPyPi server setup, you have to configure your projects if you like to have real protection. We use an enhanced setup.py file in our packages which will prevent a release to pypi.python.org. Such a setup.py change will also make the release process easier. There are two option described below for bind a release process to a given repository.
setup.py (version 1)
Since we can use more then one server setup data in the .pypirc file, we use this file as our base for bind release process to a given repository.
Note, this allows to bind the release to a server by it’s name and requires that every developer which can release such a package has to use the same server - repository mapping in it’s .pypirc file!
The changed setup.py in your private egg should look like:
############################################################################### # # Copyright 2009 by Projekt01 GmbH , CH-6330 Cham # ############################################################################### """Setup for smart package $Id: setup.py 4820 2009-05-12 07:31:00Z adam.groszer $ """ #---[ START Server locking]-------------------------------------------------- LOCK_PYPI_SERVER = "http://pypi.your-domain.tld/eggs" import os import sys from setuptools import setup, find_packages def read(*rnames): return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *rnames)).read() #---[ repository locking ]----------------------------------------------------- REPOSITORY = "myserver" def checkRepository(name): server = None # find repository in .pypirc file rc = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), '.pypirc') if os.path.exists(rc): config = ConfigParser() config.read(rc) if 'distutils' in config.sections(): # let's get the list of servers index_servers = config.get('distutils', 'index-servers') _servers = [s.strip() for s in index_servers.split('\n') if s.strip() != ''] for srv in _servers: if srv == name: repos = config.get(srv, 'repository') print "Found repository %s for %s in '%s'" % ( repos, name, rc) server = repos break if not server: print "No repository for %s found in '%s'" % (name, rc) sys.exit(1) COMMANDS_WATCHED = ('register', 'upload') changed = False for command in COMMANDS_WATCHED: if command in sys.argv: #found one command, check for -r or --repository commandpos = sys.argv.index(command) i = commandpos+1 repo = None while i<len(sys.argv) and sys.argv[i].startswith('-'): #check all following options (not commands) if (sys.argv[i] == '-r') or (sys.argv[i] == '--repository'): #next one is the repository itself try: repo = sys.argv[i+1] if repo.lower() != server.lower(): print "You tried to %s to %s, while this package "\ "is locked to %s" % (command, repo, server) sys.exit(1) else: #repo OK pass except IndexError: #end of args pass i=i+1 if repo is None: #no repo found for the command print "Adding repository %s to the command %s" % ( server, command ) sys.argv[commandpos+1:commandpos+1] = ['-r', server] changed = True if changed: print "Final command: %s" % (' '.join(sys.argv)) checkRepository(REPOSITORY) #---[ repository locking ]----------------------------------------------------- setup( name='smart', version = '1.0.0', url='http://pypi.your-domain.tld', license='commercial', description='Be smart', author='Adam Groszer, Roger Ineichen', author_email='dev@your-domain.tld', long_description='\n\n'.join([ open('README.txt').read(), open('CHANGES.txt').read(), ]), packages=find_packages('src'), package_dir = {'': 'src'}, namespace_packages=[], extras_require = dict( test = [ 'z3c.coverage', 'z3c.jsonrpc', 'z3c.testing', 'zope.testing', ], ), install_requires=[ 'setuptools', 'zope.interface', ], include_package_data = True, zip_safe = False, )
As you can see we lock the server to a given server name within the line:
REPOSITORY = "myserver"
The real repository url for the given server name must be available in your .pypirc file located in your HOME directory and looks like:
[distutils] index-servers = pypi localhost myrepos [pypi] repository: http://pypi.python.org/pypi username:your-username password:your-password [localhost] repository: http://localhost:8080 username:your-username password:your-password [myrepos] repository: http://localhost:8080 username:your-username password:your-password
After doing the above changes to your setup.py file, you can issue:
python setup.py register sdist upload
or just:
python setup.py sdist upload
The lock method will ensure that the repository only get released to the right repository and prevents that the egg get published by accident to the official pypi.python.org server at any time.
setup.py (version 2)
The following concept uses a full url pointing to a pypi server. If you don’t like to nail down the full repository url because of legacy data problems, use the concept described above. The changed setup.py in your private egg should look like:
############################################################################### # # Copyright 2009 by Projekt01 GmbH , CH-6330 Cham # ############################################################################### """Setup for smart package $Id: setup.py 4820 2009-05-12 07:31:00Z adam.groszer $ """ #---[ START Server locking]-------------------------------------------------- LOCK_PYPI_SERVER = "http://pypi.your-domain.tld/eggs" import os import sys from setuptools import setup, find_packages def read(*rnames): return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *rnames)).read() def check_server(server): if not server: return COMMANDS_WATCHED = ('register', 'upload') changed = False for command in COMMANDS_WATCHED: if command in sys.argv: #found one command, check for -r or --repository commandpos = sys.argv.index(command) i = commandpos+1 repo = None while i<len(sys.argv) and sys.argv[i].startswith('-'): #check all following options (not commands) if (sys.argv[i] == '-r') or (sys.argv[i] == '--repository'): #next one is the repository itself try: repo = sys.argv[i+1] if repo.lower() != server.lower(): print "You tried to %s to %s, while this package "\ "is locked to %s" % (command, repo, server) sys.exit(1) else: #repo OK pass except IndexError: #end of args pass i=i+1 if repo is None: #no repo found for the command print "Adding repository %s to the command %s" % ( server, command ) sys.argv[commandpos+1:commandpos+1] = ['-r', server] changed = True if changed: print "Final command: %s" % (' '.join(sys.argv)) check_server(LOCK_PYPI_SERVER) #---[ END Server locking]---------------------------------------------------- setup( name='smart', version = '1.0.0', url='http://pypi.your-domain.tld', license='commercial', description='Be smart', author='Adam Groszer, Roger Ineichen', author_email='dev@your-domain.tld', long_description='\n\n'.join([ open('README.txt').read(), open('CHANGES.txt').read(), ]), packages=find_packages('src'), package_dir = {'': 'src'}, namespace_packages=[], extras_require = dict( test = [ 'z3c.coverage', 'z3c.jsonrpc', 'z3c.testing', 'zope.testing', ], ), install_requires=[ 'setuptools', 'zope.interface', ], include_package_data = True, zip_safe = False, )
As you can see we lock the server to a given URL within the line:
LOCK_PYPI_SERVER = "http://pypi.your-domain.tld/eggs"
After doing the above changes to your setup.py file, you can issue:
python setup.py register sdist upload
or just:
python setup.py sdist upload
The lock method will ensure that the repository only get released to the right repository and prevents that the egg get published by accident to the official pypi.python.org server at any time.
buildout.cfg
Since we use a HTTPS connection, we have to improve our buildout.cfg file and use the lovely buildouthttp recipe which enables SSL support. See lovely.buildouthttp for more information about this recipe. Also make sure you setup the required information like described in the lovely recipe if you use the recipe the first time.
You private egg buildout.cfg should look like:
[buildout] index = https://pypi.your-domain.tld/private extensions = lovely.buildouthttp extends = http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/3.4.0/versions.cfg prefer-final = true versions = versions develop = . parts = test [test] recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner eggs = smart [test]
As you can see, our mypypi server is used as the index. We use the private page at https://pypi.your-domain.tld/private because this page forces the urllib handler to use the basic auth realm authentication. Again; note this requires a working lovely.buildouthttp setup using a .httpauth file in your HOME folder. Such a .httpauth file looks like:
pypi,https://pypi.your-domain.tld,your-login,your-password
Note the realm is always pypi. This is defined at the serverside and could not get changed. Of course could we change the realm in our mypypi server, but since setuptools uses this hardcoded realm (eeek), buildout upload would not work anymore if we would change the realm to something else. Let us know if this will become a real problem for you.

INSTALL
configuration
This package contains a configuration script which is not usual in a distribution package like this. The configure script can be used for initialize or change the server configuration before or after you installed this package.
the recommented steps are:
- python configure.py - python bootstrap.py - bin/buildout (on *nix) or bin\buildout.exe (on windows)
The configure.py is required by buildout.cfg. The configure.py script allows you to choose devmode, localhost, port and management user login settings. All the collected values get written to the app.cfg file which is included in buildout.cfg.
If you don’t like to use the configure.py script at any time, we recommend to write your own app.cfg e.g. myapp.cfg and include them in buildout.cfg extends and exclude the existing app.cfg. This will prevent you from override the app.cfg by using the configure.py script.
step by step
First checkout the mypypi package from pypi.python.org and store it on your mypypi server.
As next, before we call python bootstrap.py, run the configure.py script with the following command:
python configure.py
This will ask you for some input like:
Would you like to setup with devmode (y/n): y Choose your server hostname: localhost Choose your server port: 8080 Note: Distutils does not work with a port other then 80. Use a proxy server running at port 80 for access the MyPyPi server at port 8080 Choose a managment user login: Manager Choose a management user password: password Choose a password encryption (plain/md5/sha1): plain Generated configuration file 'app.cfg' --------------------------------------------------------------- New buildout configuration files successfully created You have to run bootstrap and buildout now After running buildout there is a configure script installed You can run this counfiguration script again with bin/configure ---------------------------------------------------------------
After setup the app.cfg file within the configure.py script, you can run bootstrap.py as usual with the following command:
python bootstrap.py
After bootstrap you can run buildout as usual with the following command:
bin/buildout
After setup your mypypi server with buildout, you can test your installation with the following command:
bin/test -py1
There is also a coverage recipe installed which you can use as usual with the following commands:
bin/coverage-test bin/coverage-report
After running the converage scripts, you can see the generated coverage report in the new generated coverage/report folder. There should be an all.html file which you can start with.
Congratulations, you just configured and installed your mypypi server. If you like to use another ip/port, devmode or manager user login, you can just reconfigure your setup with calling configure again with the following command:
python configure.py
This will again ask you for some input like:
Would you like to setup with devmode (y/n): y Choose your server hostname: localhost Choose your server port: 8080 Note: Distutils does not work with a port other then 80. Use a proxy server running at port 80 for access the MyPyPi server at port 8080 Choose a managment user login: Manager Choose a management user password: password Choose a password encryption (plain/md5/sha1): plain Generated configuration file 'app.cfg' --------------------------------------------------------------- New buildout configuration files successfully created You have to restart your server now ---------------------------------------------------------------
Recognize the note in the generated output. Your new app.cfg configuration file will only get used after you restart the mypypi server.
After you reconfigured your server, the old configuration file called app.cfg get renamed to app.cfg-<year><month><day>-<hour>-<minute> This means you can simply revert your changes if you rename an old app.cfg* file to app.cfg and restart your server.
start
Now you can start your new mypypi server with the following command:
bin/app
nix
We recommend to use spervisord as a autostart option for mypypi. But any other concept like using a init.d script should work for mypypi. A simple supervisord programm like this should work:
[program:mypypi] directory = <mypypi root path> command = <mypypi root path>/bin/app priority = 10 autostart = true autorestart = true
windows
There is also a windows service installation script. You can simply run the windows service installation with the following command:
python bin\winservice.py install
You can also remove the service with the following command:
python bin\winservice.py remove
run the follwoing command windows service management for more options:
python bin\winservice.py help
After install your service, go to the serivce controll panel and check the service configuration. The service get installed as MYPYPI Windows Service. If you like to rename the service make sure you removed a previous service installation, change winservice configuration section in buildout.cfg and run buildout again. After that install your service again like described above. Changing your winservice configuration in buildout.cfg should be compatible with the configure.py script concept like any other option in buildout.cfg.
CHANGES
1.5.1 (2018-06-21)
feature: added support for xml rpc proxy used for fetch package information
added simple test page for xml rpc proxy setup. See Test menu tab. This page will fetch package names from pypi via xml rpc and list the amount of fetched package names using the pypi url site setup.
1.5.0 (2018-06-05)
feature: added proxy support for download packages using a proxy. Switch from urllib to requests.
feature: added favicon.ico image and view
1.4.0 (2018-05-16)
updated package versions
bugfix: switched from z3c.recipe.paster:serve to p01.recipe.setup recipe.
You need to rename the following [app] section in your app.cfg;
site.zcml to zcml zope.conf to conf
because the new paster script requires a different naming.
rename:
[app] recipe = z3c.recipe.paster:serve eggs = mypypi ini = … zope.conf = … site.zcml = …
to:
[app] recipe = p01.recipe.setup:paste eggs = mypypi ini = … conf = … zcml = …
bugfix versions, update some package versions because some package where not fixed to a version e.g. >
feature: use new fsstorage which uses a relative path. This allows to move the mypypi installation without to break the file reference. Added generation for evolve database and migrate existing storage.
feature: allow to upload a file to a miror release and enable the release upload menu
adjust MANIFEST.in file
needs more work, switch to p01.publisher and testing environment. The current used zope.testbrowser with version 5.0.0 changed the test browser setup. We need to rewrite the browser tests. Currently the browser tests are disabled.
1.3.0 (2013-05-31)
switch to new zope.app.testing which is compatible with py 2.7 xmlrpclib and adjust test storage path which was not compatible with new test runner setup.
switch to newer ZODB3 release version 3.10.5 which is available for python 2.6/2.7 on windows for 32/64 bit.
bugfix: broken release update because of hard coded http uri. Switched to https uri and make them editable at site and mirror package release. Currently there is no auto migration. Just edit the pypi url in the site edit page and in the package edit page before update a package.
commit transaction between package downloads
1.2.1 (2012-1-18)
implemented public file management table including public file delete
bugfix: include missing public.zcml (adjust MANIFEST.in)
1.2.0 (2012-07-02)
added MANIFEST.in file
enhance batch size for simpler navigation
added an additional ++public++ namspace for public file managment. This is usefull for upload KGS files which can’t get downloaded within authentication if you need to use them as buildout extends. Note, since zc.buildout processes extends before extensions, there is no way to patch the buildout Downloader class and inject authentication. This also means lovely.builouthttp doesn’t work for extends.
bugfix: missing docutils if not installed in system python. Also newer docutils version do not provide python.modulparser.py anymore. Implement the missing trim_docstring method in mypypi/api.py
1.1.0 (2011-01-05)
bugfix: fix sync error if we try to sync LocalPackage. Note, only MirrorPackage can get synced
skip old zope.app.* packages and added zopeupdate script. Run the following script:
binzodbupdate.exe -f ……Data.fs -v –pack > out.txt 2>&1
moved storage configuration from WSGI config to zope product config since someone broke the WSGI local_conf to zope product configuration chain. And we also changed the fsStorage argument to storage since camel case also seems to be broken.
- NOTE: You need to run configure.py and buildout before you start the
server!
Otherwise the server wdoesn’t start because of the misssing storage configuration. (nothing dangerous happens)
added a second concept for look a release to a single pypi server using the .pypirc configuration file. See README.txt for more information
use newer zope.* packages
implemented XML-RPC API like pypi.python.org offers. We currently do only support the important methods like:
list_packages
package_releases
package_urls # deprecated
release_urls
package_data # deprecated
release_data
we do not support the methods (search, updated_releases, changelog) right now Note: you need to use a domain like http://host:port/ as XML-RPC ServerProxy url. If you don’t use the slash a the end the ServerProxy uses /RPC2 as default handler which isn’t supported by mypypi.
removed temporary MultiWidget and TextLinesWidget because I move them to the z3c.form 2.0 release which is now used
moved management pages from browser to admin package
imporved configuration script, use getpass for password input and adjust text message
bugfix, added explicit find-link for lovely.buildouthttp, couldn’t find the package during a fresh installation.
bugfix, added missing buildout.cfg file, same issue as in version 1.0.1. This issue was reported 5 month ago but still not fixed see: http://bugs.python.org/issue6884
1.0.3 (2010-11-02)
bugfix, version conflict. Use ZTK 1.0 and zopeapp-versions 1.0 as base versions
bugifx, dash vs underscore madness. The package wsgi_intercept at python offers a download link to google which defines wsgi-intercept (_ vs -) e.g. http://pypi.python.org/simple/wsgi_intercept/ http://code.google.com/p/wsgi-intercept/
fix typo (sh1 -> sha1) in configure.py script
1.0.2 (2010-06-21)
cleanup buildou.cfg and base.cfg files
1.0.1 (2010-06-17)
bugfix, buildout.cfg was missing during a setuptools issue. See: http://bugs.python.org/issue6884
