I was wondering if there was a way to install and use BeautifulSoup (or any python module for that matter), which is not provided by my hosting service, without root privileges?
1 Answer
you can install package without root privilege.
use pip with '--user' option. Then pip install package in your '~/.local/' folder.
pip install --user some_package
if you use setup.py or easy_install, they also provide similar feature. (installation on user folder or changing installation root folder)
