Interesting, but no, all I was trying to do was a pip freeze followed by a pip bundle to form a pip pybundle containing the source to everything melkjug needs to install... It seems to capture it all okay, but it won't install what it made with pip install after the fact. It seems to choke on some of the svn src installs although it appears to understand what they are. I'll post a note to the virtualenv list about it when I get a sec.

Hey Luke, This is from a thread on the virtualenv list: > why not have ~/.pip/downloads > And make pip check for a file there before downloading? I'm not sure why it's not documented -- so Ian, please correct me if I'm wrong -- but if you set the environment variable PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE to a path, pip will cache downloaded tarballs et al. It won't cache editable installs or local installs (file://..) though. Cheers, Jannis Not sure if this helps?
