python - Installing pip locally without root privileges

Question

I am working on a compute server which runs a linux. The machine is used by several users so I don't have and won't get root privileges. I need to install Keras which you would normally do by using pip

Now, pip is not installed and the root won't install it for me either unless I beg him for probably a month or so. I tried to locally install pip with the python installation scrip Python352/bin/python3.5 get-pip.py --user

This unfortunately throws me an no permission error /etc. This is not exactly what I expected from installing the tool locally. Is it somehow possible to make an installation of pip that does not try to touch anything outside my local directory?

Here is the up-to-date version to install pip (python) to user without root access method:

`wget --no-check-certificate https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py && python get-pip.py --user`
