I need to encapsulate a project using python26

[Como los Pajarillos EnLibertad]

Hello, I have a problem with old python26, the project is very old and it needs run in server where does not use python26 so my plan is encapsulate python inside the project using virtual environment but python26 does have pip to install venv. Do you know an easy way top perform  this kind the installation in any environment(may has or not install python )?

Before hand thanks very much for your support

I don't believe that 'virtualenv' library supports your usecase (encapsulating
a full Python environment on a host without Python):  it requires
an actual installation of the required version of Python to be present on the system.

If 'python2.6' *is* present on your system, then you could try downloading a 2.6-
compatible version and running its 'virtualenv.py' script directly, e.g.:

---------------------------------- %< -----------------------------

$ curl --location --output virtualenv-15.2.0.tar.gz \
    https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tarball/15.2.0
$ tar xvfz virtualenv-15.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd pypa-virtualenv-61255cf/  # path differs for other releases
$ python2.6 virtualenv.py /path/to/virtualenv

---------------------------------- %< -----------------------------

Note that I don't have a 'python2.6' on my system, so I couldn't test the last line,
but it matches my memory, and the legacy docs[1]
