Never tried this, but (in Tox) you might be able to set environment vars PIP_NO_INDEX and PIP_FIND_LINKS
you might be able to use pre-downloaded dependencies.

$ pip install --no-index --find-links=file:///local/dir/ SomePackage
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=/local/dir/ SomePackage
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=relative/dir/ SomePackage
