R. David Murray added the comment:

The source tarball is the source tarball.  You can built python yourself, but 
it does require MSVC.  There are issues in this tracker about supporting other 
compilers, but for various reasons (mostly having to do with this being a 
volunteer community driven project) they have not gotten anywhere close to good 
enough for us to officially support it.

For the 'no privileges' install question, I defer to Steve; otherwise I'd just 
close the issue.
