Installing Python Package to Conda Env Without Using Conda

I have a fresh Anaconda environment in which I would like to install the latest release of mysql-connector-python (v2.1.3). I'm on a CentOS6 system. The problem is, the newest Conda-hosted package is 2.0.3 and because the connector is not currently hosted on PyPI, it cannot be installed via Pip. (Pip's --allow-external option has been deprecated.)

I know that I can easily install the package via yum install, but I believe that will install it outside of the Conda environment. Is there any way, using yum or otherwise, to isolate this package solely to this particular Conda environment?

Turns out this is surprisingly simple. Just download the source for the Python package that is not available on PyPI and pip install at the source directory. Just remember to have the Conda environment you want to install to active and Pip will correctly isolate the install to env scope.

I was unaware of Pip's install from local options, so big thanks to the folks on the Anaconda mailing list for their help with this.
