i need to install a python module with a shell file. i am installing GPIO module for my RPi but i cant' connect the RPi(B+) to the internet. the raspberry pi is running arch linux and is configured to automatically execute 2 programs (main.py and update.sh) which are located on a flash drive. i need to be able to install python modules with update.sh (that's why it's called update.sh). i am rather new to using arch linux and am not confident in my ability to do this yet. i am great-full for any and all help.

If there are Arch Linux ARM packages for the python modules you can put them on the flash drive, mount the flash drive and install them with: pacman -U /path/to/flashdrive/python-somemodule-0.1-1-armv6.pkg.tar.gz
If there is no Arch package, try downloading the .whl file from https://pypi.python.org/pypi putting it on a flash drive and installing it with pip install /path/to/flashdrive/python-somemodule-0.1-1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
