How do I install from a local cache with pip? 6 answers

How do you prevent PIP from re-downloading previously downloaded packages? I'm testing the install of matplotlib, an 11MB package that depends on several distro-specific packages. Everytime I run pip install matplotlib, it re-downloads matplotlib. How do I stop this?

python pip
