I like that a lot! could work for personal python packages too.

You can install directly from GitHub, bitbucket, etc. with pip, BTW. My point was that if I want to have packages for private use installable over the internet with package management tools for various languages, I have to put them on the public internet, or jump through some hoops.

Package management tools for both Rust and Go and JS do support direct github urls with minimal boilerplate. You have no reason to make something public unless you want to.

Oh you can use those tools with private repos?

Totally, I already do that. Would be interesting to be able to install sgillen.package separately from package, with just a flag passed to pip.

Using pip, and possibly other tools, you can try using a .netrc[0] file to manage login credentials for private repositories. Although it is a cleartext file (so you may need to manage access to it, for instance when using it in CI), at least your credentials will not show up in log files.
