Does python have a ruby installer like gem that lets you install modules from the command line even if they are not on your machine?
no it does not have a ruby installer that I know of. It does have easy_install and pip though. Your google-fu is lacking.
With Ruby you can do gem install  from the command line to install a module...even if it is not on your machine.
Can you do that with python.  Does someone know of a module?
