Re: [cclib-users] Installing cclib-1.5 to local directory

[Eric B. <er...@pi...>]

If you do

python setup.py install --help

there are a number of options for controlling the install location. The
most commonly desired option is python setup.py install --home, which would
install almost any Python library into ~/.local, which Python knows to
check automatically for modules. I see there is also --install-base if you
want it somewhere else.

There is another option, where python setup.py build is used instead, and
the code is compiled under cclib/build/, but you'll have to manually modify
$PYTHONPATH.
