Question

Can pip install first search wheel in a specified local dir and then the pypi?

If the specified local dir doesn't contain the want wheel, it will search the pypi.

Especially when use pip install -r requirements.txt command.

Answer 1

Sure is. Add

--find-links some/local/directory/with/wheels

to the command line.

If you also add --no-index, it won't consult the online index.

If that doesn't work for you, try

--index-url=/some/local/directory --extra-index-url=https://pypi.org/simple

instead.
