A project I'm working on requires a Python egg to be deployed to a remote location which (because of a security configuration outside my control) denies users web-access but allows users access to networked file-systems. It has been proposed that rather than creating a web- repository for python eggs we store these on a local file-server.
Has anybody had any luck using the --find_options argument to easy_install with a local folder (e.g. on a Windows C: Drive) or a network folder, for example easy_install --find-links="http://server/egs" myegg==1.0.1 that sort of thing works fine but what about: easy_install --find-links="c:\myeggs\" myegg==1.0.1 or even: easy_install --find-links="file:///c:/myeggs" myegg==1.01 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
