Install PIL without pypi

I need to install Pillow using easy_install or from source. Due to the restrictions on the computer I'm using at school, I can't access python.org or pip.

I decompressed the file from effbot.org, and put the PIL folder from that into site-packages. It complains that the _imaging C module isn't installed. How can I install Pillow using easy_install or from source?

If you cannot access it in your school there are several ways you can install it.

One way would be installing the needed package on your home computer (when windows type in 'pip install [pckg-name]') you will find that package in your python folder->Lib->site-packages just copy it on some usb and paste it on school computer same path

Another way would be download the package at home (directly on pypi website would be the best) and again use usb and install it then on school computer

Also you can upload that package to some webhosts (if you do not have your own domain/webspace) and use that link on your school computer in your ide or python settings as an alternative to get packages from

Or you ask some of your teachers whatever.

There are many ways to get packages installed without internet access. You can also google that e.g. 'how to install pypi packages without internet access'
