How to locally install django third-party apps?

Question

I'm making a small django project where I use third-party apps like South and others. I will probably rent a host to this project, so I won't be able to install these apps via easy_install. Is there a way to install these apps inside my project?

Answer 1

virtualenv is great for this, especially when combined with pip.

$ virtualenv myproject
$ cd myproject/
$ . bin/activate
(myproject) $ pip install django
(myproject) $ pip install south
