Just download ebooklib wheel and add the path to the wheel to sys.path and then import it. Or unzip the whl file and add the path to the top level directory containing the top level __init__.py to sys.path and import it.

I don't want to use ebooklib. That was just an example of an external library. There could be a thousand libraries I need in a given script.
But yes, I understand. Just manually download and include the library in the project folder and then add to sys.path. That makes sense.
I would argue though that pip isn't a crutch for the clueless, as you implied. It seems elegant and efficient to me.
But thank you for the help.
