I'm disappointed it doesn't support Python. There's not a lot of options available for private Python package hosting, it would have been good to have another one.
To host a private Python package repository, I create a simple directory tree where the first level is the package name and the second level is the package (a tarball, zip, or a wheel) and I serve that tree over HTTPS using vanilla Apache or nginx with directory listings enabled. Then I use "bin/pip -i https://packages.example.com ..." to point to that repository. It's very low tech and it turns out that's all I need.
Whenever pip can't find a package due to case or hyphen issues, I look at the access log, find out what pip is trying to retrieve, and rename things or use symlinks to fix it. Also, I manage the directory using git. (One of these days I'll try using git-annex or similar, but for now, a few gigabytes is not even close to being a burden.)
Yeah, self-hosting a Python package index is so easy that (free) hosting solutions don’t really offer much, which is probably why you don’t see many of those. Paid services do exist (the most recent is PyDist), but you’re really paying more for hosting than the index.
p.s. I believe pip has recently fixed the hyphen problem you mentioned. Sorry for the inconvenience! Please do report any issues if they still exist.
