I'm trying to use the feedparser module (http://www.feedparser.org/).

Is it possible to use this without running the setup program?

I don't see why not, seems like I'm missing something obvious.

My directory structure is:

myprogram.py
    /feedparser
        /feedparser.py

I know I can install the module in the modules directory but would like to avoid this for two reasons: I'm only using it for the one project so would
like to keep it seperate, and if I move to a shared host I may not be
allowed to install additional modules (not sure if this is correct though).

The easiest way would be to put the single module feedparser.py in the same directory as your program (I don't completely get your reasons not to do that). OR put feedparser.py in some other directory that is already listed in sys.path. OR add the directory containing feedparser.py to sys.path, just at the beginning of your program.

I've tried:

import feedparser

import feedparser.feedparser

from feedparser import feedparser

What am I doing wrong? :)

*IF* the directory 'feedparser' were a package (that is, if it contained a file __init__.py), then that last import statement would be valid. But I don't reccomend doing this; you're changing the module's environment.
