hi everyone. i'm developing a simple CRUD django app and my idea is to host it on a free web hosting site that supports django (e.g. alwaysdata.com or heliohost.org). I havent tried locally to deploy it on a web server such as Apache, i've alway used the development server by manage.py runserver. Now i'm using third application on it: reportlab (for pdf generation), django-evolution (for models changes). well these apps are installed via apt-get (i'm using ubuntu as host system) or by getting the packages from their own sites and installing them by setup.py install. Now i've checked on alwaysdata.com and reportlab is installed, but seems there's no django_evolution. what i have to do to include it in my app and to get it working?

thanx

If you have shell access you could do a virtualenv/pip combo install.

If he can't install virtualenv (permission denied), he will have
problems copying his modules to the dist/site-packages dir. Also, this
method of manually copying is (no offence meant :-) ) rather hacky,
and probably not good advice in most situations. Thomas Rega's
suggestion of installing virtualenv locally, then installing his
modules in to this local virtualenv, is the cleanest idea for someone
without root permissions. Great tip, I didn't know about install --
user.

There's no reason a user couldn't run virtualenv, regardless of permissions.

Download the virtualenv tarball and extract it. It contains a file named
virtualenv.py.

Done.

Run python virtualenv.py some_path and it will work.

Asides Shawn's answer, alwaysdata's documentation educates how to
install packages on the host
