devpi is a self-hosted PyPI server that provides a caching proxy for pypi.org plus user/team-based package indexes with inheritance, along with a web/search interface plugin. It also includes a command-line client for creating users, managing indexes, uploading, installing, and running tests via tox.

Use cases

  • run a private pypi server for my team
  • cache pypi packages locally to speed up installs
  • stage and test python packages before releasing to pypi
  • upload python packages to an internal index
  • mirror pypi behind a corporate firewall
  • manage per-team python package indexes with inheritance
  • test packages against an index with tox before release

When to choose

  • you need a private or staging PyPI server with index inheritance
  • you want a caching proxy to reduce pypi.org dependency and bandwidth
  • you need integrated upload, install, and testing workflows for python packaging

When to avoid

  • you only need to install packages from public PyPI without caching or private indexes
  • you need a package index for non-python ecosystems like npm or maven
  • you want a fully managed hosted solution without self-hosting
