I’m installing python on custom location on a internal server.
Unfortunately, I can’t make full internet connection here. Most of sites are block by firewall. (essentially pypi repository!) Please don’t ask the reason. And I don’t have root account, so I have to install python from source.
I did install python from source successfully! But the problem is any of easy_install or pip is not installable because the sites are not accessible form here. 🙁

How can I install them under current situation?

    1. Download the source tarballs of the module you are interested in to your PC
    2. Upload it to the remote server (SCP)
    3. Extract the tarball (eg. tar -xvzf pack.tar.gz)
    4. Set the current directory to the extracted folder (should contain a file named setup.py)
    5. Install the module: python setup.py install (See documentation)

    In my eyes setting up a local mirror like proposed by Tim is not worth of it (Of course this depends on how often you plan to install/update Python modules on that remote machine…)
