I'm trying to deploy a python application which has a lot of dependencies and can either be installed by easy_install or pip, but the environment i deploy to is behind firewall and does not have access to internet. So i wonder if python has something like ruby bundler's 'package' functionality, which can cache all *.egg and dependencies and then install them locally.
It turns out easy_install already has a solution, install-on-un-networked-machines, but it is not perfect for C-extension python eggs because it requires the OS and arch on source machine and target machine are the same.
