Install setup_requires settings package from local distributions

Question

Take the following trivial package that contains setup_requires:

from setuptools import setup
setup(name='my_package', setup_requires=['cython'])

Assuming I did the following to build it in the source distribution:

$ python setup.py sdist

And downloaded the source distribution for Cython

$ pip install --download ./dist/ --no-use-wheel Cython

So now I have:

$ ls dist/
my_package-0.0.0.tar.gz
Cython-0.21.1.tar.gz

What I would like to do is install the package on a machine isolated from the network, using some combination --find-links, etc.

I would suggest that I can do something like

pip install --no-index --find-links="file:///$(pwd)/dists" dist/my_package-0.0.0.tar.gz

However, I get an error message that looks like this:

No local packages or download links found for cython(Full text here: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/IxmzEEfQ5yZRU45i2FBM/ )

What I tried unsuccessfully:

Installation of the following

[easy_install]
allow_hosts = ''
find_links = file:///$(pwd)/emr-sdists

at

/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/distutils.cfg
~/.pydistutils.cfg
./setup.cfg
