I'm trying to install the pySVG module onto a web hosting system, but I do not have root access, and none of these tools are installed: pip, setuptools, or easy_install.
The package consists of just a bunch of .py files, so I'm hoping there is some manual way to "install" the module without having to run an installer. On my local machine, I can do "python setup.py build", and all it does is copies the .py files into the 'build' directory:
$ ls -l build/lib/pysvg/

Can I just copy these files to the web server, and then somehow modify my Python script to "load" the module? Normally I would do this:
import pysvg.builders
import pysvg.structure
import pysvg.style
import pysvg.shape
from pysvg.turtle import Turtle, Vector
I'm hoping there's a way to modify these lines to manually load the .py files and treat them as modules.
Add build/lib/ to PYTHONPATH.
