Hello, 

I am trying to install Trac on my site in a shared hosting service. 
I do not have admin rights, nor sudo, apt-get, easy-install, pip. 

How can I install Trac from source?
I downloaded Trac to my host, uncompressed it and  ran setup.py, but I keep 
getting errors.

$ python ./setup.py install --home=/home/x/public_html/trac/Trac-1.0.13

Genshi is needed by Trac setup, pre-installing
running install
Checking .pth file support in /home/x/public_html/trac/Trac-1.0.13/lib/
python/
/usr/bin/python -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: /home/x/public_html/trac/Trac-1.0.13/lib/python/ does NOT 
support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /home/x/public_html/trac/Trac-1.0.13/lib/python/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

    '/home/x/public_html/trac/Trac-1.0.13'

Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:

* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
  on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files

* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
  variable.  (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
  Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)

* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
  using one of the approaches described here:

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.


Any idea how I can install trac on my host? (without requiring admin rights)

Thanks
