pip install is downloading from https://pypi.python.org so yes you do
need internet access. Having said that there are a couple of ways to
feed pip. You can run a local pypi server to host previously downloaded
packages or tell pip to install from a file. "pip help install"

Automatic handling of additional downloads is automatic in pip. If the
package you are installing requires some other packages then it will
install those too.
