#10 Way to install pyparsing WITHOUT root privileges ?
I developped an application based on pyparsing but i need to install it on very restricted linux systems where i won't be sure to be able to get root privileges. Is there a way to install or use pyparsing without having root privileges ? (i need them to execute python setup.py install)
Pyparsing has a very small installation footprint - just a single Python source file! AND the MIT license is very liberal on including this source right in with your own project. So just include pyparsing.py in alongside your own code in your package. Packages such as matplotlib have done this with great success. You will not get the benefit of pyparsing as a separately versioned/installed package, but it will install with the same privs necessary to install your own package.
