That would be abhorent. Don't even try to do that.

If the app has a setup.py, specify the name passed to setup() in 
setup.py in install_requires. Then you just need to make sure a 
distribution of the above is available when you want to install.

What I would do:

- clone the above repo
- in your local clone do:
   python setup.py sdist
- put the resulting .tgz somewhere safe and accessible
- install using your package manager of choice and pass the "somewhere 
safe and accessible" location by way of --find-links or equivalent.

cheers,

Chris
