title: Alternative python package repositories
body: <p>my work network is a little paranoid and has blocked, among other things, access to python.org. Are there any reputable alternate python package repositories that I can point pip to?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. They also block github and sourceforge, but do allow bitbucket, enthought, and activepython. Go figure.</p>
  
  <p>P.P.S. It's a military hospital. But I'm trying to do some informatics research and it's killing me. crate.io is also blocked. The remaining two are in China, so I'm pretty sure that won't go over well. Can I mirror PyPi myself?</p>
