it looks like you didnt specify your host like the doc of simplepy said you need to setup your ~/.pypirc
with the good hostname like
To use it run "simplepypi". You can upload packages by:
Modify your ~/.pypirc so it looks like: [distutils] index-servers = pypi local [local] username: <whatever> password: <doesn't matter, see above> repository: http://127.0.0.1:8000 [pypi] ...
then you'll upload your package on it
python setup.py sdist upload -r local
and could install it from there
pip install -i http://127.0.0.1:8000/pypi <your favorite package>
Hope this will help.
