title: How to copy manually only a single site package without pip install?
body: <p>First, my reasons to do this - I know it's a bad idea but I am out of ideas.</p>
  
  <p>I want to install a package which requires a <code>ld</code> version, which is higher than the one in the repo of my Centos 6.5. So I should either go for setting up everything in a Docker and running it in production - something I lack experience with and I don't feel comfortable doing for a serious project. Or upgrade <code>ld</code> manually building from external source. Which I read, could result in devastation of my Centos. So the last option I am left with is install the packed on other machine and manually copy it to <code>site-packages</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have successfully installed the package on my home laptop under Debian. </p>
  
  <p>I encountered everywhere advice to copy the whole <code>site-packages</code> directory. Something which I don't want to do as I have different packages on both machines and I want to avoid messing up with other stuff.</p>
  
  <p>I copied the <code>.so</code> build and <code>.egginfo</code> of the package. Then, on the target machine, <code>pip freeze</code> indeed showed me the transferred package. However, Python can't find it when I try to import and use it.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something else?</p>
