* pypi_mirror/cmd/run_mirror.py: Use the --allow-external and --allow-insecure options so that pip 1.5 and later will assent to retrieve the netifaces, psutil, pysendfile and pytidylib packages even though they're not hosted on PyPI. The --allow-insecure option is aliased to a clearer --allow-unverified wording in 1.5, but the old form is being used to avoid breaking users of 1.4.x and will be valid at least through 1.6.x according to comments in the pip source.

Partial PyPI Mirrors
Sometimes you want a PyPI mirror, but you don't want the whole thing. You certainly don't want external links. What you want are the things that you need and nothing more. What's more, you often know exactly what you need because you already have a pip requirements.txt file containing the list of things you expect to download from PyPI.
pypi-mirror will build a local static mirror for you based on requirements files in git repos.
