    My work has an isolated network that developers write applications to run inside of. These developers often write Python code. This Python code often requires modules from the Python Package Index (PyPi) to be downloaded using something like pip. In order to allow these developers to run their software on this isolated network, I need to provide them with a PyPi mirror so they can get the modules their software depends upon. To accomplish this, I setup a bandersnatch mirror on a VM in my DMZ and configured our VMs to use this mirror instead of the (unreachable from their perspective) internet. So far, so good.

    It looks like DevPi may just work as a caching proxy as well. I also found Bandersnatch too. https://github.com/pypa/bandersnatch which is a configurable mirror with allow / block lists.

    Essentially want something like DevPi but add the package to the bandersnatch allow list and mirror it from then on. With some extra large packages in the deny list.

    Probably possible to wire that all up reasonably well, but probably just using a caching proxy is 90%+ of the improvement anyways. So may just stick with that.

    Whatever is available on PyPI can be installed using pip install. Though it is important to check the package is legit and safe before installing. It is possible to host your own private repository using bandersnatch, nexus or using gitlab among others.
