Is it possible to use a python module that is not installed in python directories on Linux?

Question

I have a python application that depends on the uuid module, but on the server where I need to run it, uuid is not installed. I don't have a root server, so I can’t place uuid.pys in the / usr / lib / python 2.4 / site-packages folder ... is there any way I can use .py from another place? how is my ~?
