Adam Young: Self hosting and installing from pip repos
I have an application that I want to share with my team. Fortunately, we have a shared server, so it is pretty easy to do so: if I put a file in /usr/local/bin it can A) be executed by anyone on the server and B) will not interfere with RPM packages.
