Creating setup.py for my python project , issue with downloading dependent packages

Question

This is my setup.py file

try:
   from setuptools import setup, find_packages
except ImportError:
   from ez_setup import use_setuptools
   use_setuptools()
   from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
   name='test',
   version='0.1',
   description='',
   author='',
   author_email='',
   install_requires=[
      'django >= 1.2.3',
      'pyxmlsec',
      'south',
      'lxml',
      'xlrd'
   ],
   packages=find_packages(exclude=['ez_setup']),
   include_package_data=True,
   test_suite='nose.collector',
)

After running the command python setup.py install , it installs the .egg in my site_packges but while installing the dependencies it throws errors :

 Processing dependencies for test==0.1
 Searching for lxml
 Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/lxml/
 Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/lxml/: timed out -- Some packages may not be found!
 Couldn't find index page for 'lxml' (maybe misspelled?)
 Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
 Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/
 Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/: timed out -- Some packages may not be found!
 No local packages or download links found for lxml
 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('lxml')

Not only for lxml module,the same error is happening for all other modules like xlrd . The attempted pypi link is fine with the source code . So what can be the solution? Thanks in Advance.

This is a connectivity issue. Are you connected to the internet? If using a proxy, is your proxy setup correctly (I am assuming linux) in your environment? Can you manually install packages by doing pip install lxml or easy_install lxml — RedBaron

@RedBaron yes i can do install the modules manually , but actually I want that while transfering the code in many client machines , they should not download and install all the modules manually , running a simple script will do that. So i develop such setup.py . — curiousguy

Many users reports problems with pypi downs, maybe you solve by using a mirror or since you have many clients (I guess in the same network/organization) a local pypi server should be a nice solution, here is a list of pypi alternatives that I have done.

Thanks for the reply I will try to use this mirror solution. But cant use the local pypi server as they all are not in the asme network.

also with the present script how to force to install all the dependency modules from mirror server. Any idea:)

Try with this, also look this answer, I don't tested it but seem usefull. besides you can instruct your clients to specify the pypi server when install your package, i.e. pip install -i http://pypi-mirror-server yourpackage
