Pip's "download" command?

Does this package do anything different from pip's "download" command? Perhaps it was written before "pip download" was a thing? If so, should this package be deprecated in favor of that command?

commented

indeed. the output indicates so as well:

Step 8/9 : RUN pip2tgz packages/ tesserocr==2.3.0
 ---> Running in 022e4f9ef3cd
DEPRECATION: pip install --download has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. Pip now has a download command that should be used instead.

@evanandrewrose This package does do something more than what pip download does.
This package builds a local pypa index, path to which can be passed to the --index-url switch when installing something using pip. Using pip download simply downloads the wheel in question to the current working directory, which can't be used as a pypa index.

The package does use pip download command internally though, using pip as a library.
