pip2pi makes it really easy to run your own PyPI. All you need is something that can serve static files (Nginx, S3, etc.)

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesAfter being bummed by the removal of 'bundle' in pip and writing an article about how we moved to using wheel for faster deployments[1], we moved to using Packer for server builds for our cloud infrastructure. Now we can backup to using a simple 'requirements.txt' file and not worrying about install and compile speeds.
Removing 'bundle' was painful for us, and I even contributed a bunch of code to 'pip2pi' [2] to make it easy to set up an S3 bucket as a "local" pip mirror for our EC2 infrastructure, but it was all bandaid after bandaid.
So far, Packer has felt much more elegant (despite the effort it took to put it in to our workflow) than wheel, pip2pi, or any other solution.
