title: Install Python Flask without using pip
body: <p>How do I install Python Flask without using pip?</p>
  
  <p>I do not have pip, virtualenv nor easy_install.</p>
  
  <p>The context of this question is that I am on a tightly controlled AIX computer.  I cannot install any compiled code without going through several layers of management.  However, I can install python modules.</p>
  
  <p>Python 2.7 is installed.</p>
  
  <p>I have some existing python code that generates a report.</p>
  
  <p>I want to make that report available on a web service using Flask.</p>
  
  <p>I am using bottle, but I am going to want to use https, and support for https under Flask seems much more straight forward.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to put the flask library (and its dependencies) into my project much like bottle is placed into the project.</p>
  
  <p>What I tried: I downloaded the flask tarball and looked at it.  It had quite a bit of stuff that I did not know what to do with.  For instance, there was a makefile.</p>
