Installing Python 2.7.11 without sudo and make

I'm doing a little project and I need to install a different version of python on a box on which I don't have superuser rights. Already tried installing python to a directory for which I do have permissions, but I would still need to build it using make, which the box doesn't have installed. Any ideas?

Since you can run pip, you can install a virtual environment to play in. For that, I recommend virtualenvwrapper which is installable via pip install virtualenvwrapper.

The docs on the linked site have more details on what you need to do to get it up and running.

Sounds like you may want to use pyenv to install python
