Pipenv lock: how to cache downloads for transfer to an offline machine












4















I am looking for a way to create a self-contained archive of all dependencies required to satisfy a Pipfile.lock. One way to achieve this would be to point PIPENV_CACHE_DIR at an empty temporary directory, run pipenv install, ship the contents of that directory, and use it on the offline machine.



E.g., this should work:



tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)
if [ -n "$offline" ]; then
tar -xf pipenv_cache.tar -C "$tmpdir"
fi
pipenv --rm
PIPENV_CACHE_DIR="$tmpdir" PIP_CACHE_DIR="$tmpdir" pipenv install
if [ -n "$online" ]; then
tar -cf pipenv_cache.tar -C "$tmpdir" .
fi


However, there are a number of problems with this script, one being that it can’t use the online machine’s cache, having to download everything every time instead.



The question is, is there a better way, that doesn’t involve a custom script? Maybe a documented community best practise?



Ideally, there would exist an interface like:



pipenv lock --create-archive <file_name>
pipenv install --from-archive <file_name>
