Pip cache

Cache location:

• Unix: ~/.cache/pip and it respects the XDG_CACHE_HOME directory.
• macOS: ~/Library/Caches/pip.
• Windows <CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA>\pip\Cache.

To disable the cache, use the flag --no-cache-dir

Tips

There is a built-in web server embed in Python3 that can server a folder:

python3 -m http.server 8000  # serve the current folder on every interfaces

# python3.4: bind
# Python 3.7: directory
python -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 --directory /tmp/
