How to locally install django third-party apps?

Question

I'm making a small django project where I use third-party apps like South and others. I will probably rent a host to this project, so I won't be able to install these apps via easy_install. Is there a way to install these apps inside my project?

Answer 1

virtualenv is great for this, especially when combined with pip.

$ virtualenv myproject
$ cd myproject/
$ . bin/activate
(myproject) $ pip install django
(myproject) $ pip install south

Answer 2

For example: django-grappelli. Install python setup tools and do the next step

$ pip install django-grappelli

and then add to the installed apps

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'grappelli',
    'django.contrib.admin',
)

This is the way for your question
