安装没有Internet访问的Python模块

Question

I have recently started studying Python, using a combination of Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart and Python Programming, an Introduction Into Computer Science by John M. Zelle, if I want a deeper look. I intend to find some more complete books once I've worked through these.

I have however stumbled into a problem. Automate the Boring Stuff explains how to add modules to python using the pip tool.

I however live in rural Tennessee, where they charge $150 per month for a 1.5 mbs DSL connection (can you tell I'm a bit salty?)

This means that my only Internet connection is the mobile data on my cellphone, and that only outside the house...

Can anyone give me instructions directed towards a novice on how I might be able to download the modules using my phone, and after transferring them to the PC, what commands I should run to add them to python? Any explanations of how and why it works that way is highly appreciated as well. It is a learning experience, after all.

Thanks for your help.

Here's a summary of the above comment thread for anyone visiting this question.

You can download the wheel files (.whl) or the archive files (.tar.gz) from pypi.org .

Once you have a wheel or an archive, you can run:

pip install name_of_wheel.whl # installs a wheel named `name_of_wheel.whl`

or, to install from an archive:

pip install archive.tar.gz # installs an archive named `archive.tar.gz`
