title: Portable python script: Is it possible to include third party libraries in script?
body: <p>I have a Python script which uses open source third party libraries for geoprocessing (OGR and Shapely). My plan is to execute this script on a computer without having to install the required libraries.</p>
  
  <p>I know that there are tools such as py2exe available for this purpose. However, compiling an executable file is not my first choice as I noticed that such files can get pretty large in size. Besides, I would like to use the code within another script. I would therefore like to create a portable python script which already includes the third party methods needed for executing. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to include third party methods in a Python script in order to avoid the installation of third party libraries? And if not, what can I do instead, besides compiling an executable file? I work on Windows OS. </p>
