How to install enchant C library for pyenchant on python anywhere

Question

On python anywhere, you aren't allowed to use sudo. So I can't run sudo apt-get install python-enchant

I tried to use linuxbrew to install enchant however, I can't install linuxbrew because the script requires sudo.

This script gives me an error saying that I need to be sudo:

apt-get install python-enchant 

What kind of works: I was able to use

apt-get download python-enchant
dpkg -x python-enchant ./

This also works:

apt-get source python-enchant

These are steps I found from other tutorials for installing things without sudo. However, when I import enchant, the library still can't be found. Do I need to move the extracted file somewhere?

Thank you in advance.

Users are not able to install system packages on PythonAnywhere. You may install pypi package but the libenchant has to be pre-installed by admins.
