Using pandas as part of project instead of installing it

Question

I need to use pandas module for reading a excel file.

I can see that we can install pandas using pip, apt-get , yum etc.,

But I do have a restriction for installing a package.

Whatever the module I am using, I have to keep it in with my project source code instead of installing it.

I did the same for using the beautifulsoup module before.

Once I kept the same in my project source, I will install the same.

So I need to know the way or possibility for using pandas in the same way.

Answer 1

Set up a Virtual Environment using virtualenv. The virtual environment will reside in your own user directory without requiring any permissions. You can then install whatever packages you want into the virtual environment, again, with no special permissions.
