Install a Python module from conda forge files

Levenshtein Module installation from CONDA FORGE files

 Since Python is getting popular from Datascientists,  one might have to deal with setting up non standarad python modules in a server with multiple python version,  

Background: 

 Default Python Version :2.6.6

 Conda Python version : 2.7

 Conda Virtual environment created with : 3.5

 now i need to setup Levenshtein package inside one of my virtual environments running in Pythonh 3.5

Step 1: Downloaded the source files of Levenshtein package for Python3.5(which is the default py version inside my Conda virtual env –test_venv)

wget https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/python-levenshtein/0.12.0/download/linux-64/python-levenshtein-0.12.0-py35_0.tar.bz2

Step 2:  Extracted the zip file inside the virtual environment, it extracted the required lib/ and site-packages files into the local lib folder

(test_venv) [user@host] ~/anaconda/envs/test_env]$ tar -xvjf python-levenshtein-0.12.0-py35_0.tar.bz2

Step 3: Ensure the package is listed as installed.

 (test_venv) [user@host: ~/anaconda/envs/test_venv]$ pip list installed

Also, here is a sample code I tried.

(test_venv) [user@host: ~/anaconda/envs/test_venv]$ python
