How to install python-tk package without sudo?

Question

I have an issue to install python-tk package for my app to user's computer. User does not have sudo rights, but has python installed by default. I can't even find downloadable python-tk module to simply run "python setup.py install" . Can someone help with this? Are there any other choices?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, python-tk is actually a separately-packaged version of Tkinter, built straight from the Python source code; it's not a separately available source package.

What you can do is build and install your own version of Python in your homedir.
