That would probably require write permissions to /usr/local/Python-2.7.5/lib. If you are unwilling to grant those permissions, you can suggest that they learn how to work with "virtualenvs" (http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/), which would allow them to install third-party modules locally.
And, of course, they need to be saavy enough to put the new python installation on the PATH.
