Copied a package to site-packages, but pip doesn't list it. How can I make pip aware of the installed...
I had to manually build a package and copy it to the site-packages directory. When I type pip list into a console it isn't listed, though I can use it in python scripts. How can I make pip aware of the package?
Installing it via pip is not an option.

You say "Installing it via pip is not an option.", but I'm assuming installing it via pip using a local copy still is. If so, the way to do that is to clone your library into a directory (say /my/lib/dir), where the root of the source for the root package appears below /my/lib/dir (ex: if the package you want to install is imported as import foo, then you should have /my/lib/dir/foo). If there is no file named setup.py in your copy of the code, then you need to create a simple one. Something like
# in a file called setup.py above the `foo` directory
from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='foo',
version='1.0',
packages=['foo'],
)
Finally, run pip install . from /my/lib/dir.
It's definitely a hack, but making pip aware of a package without installing it via pip is asking for a hack :-)

Perfect! Note that pip will use the directory the folder is in as the install location, so if you want it in site-packages you'll need to install it from there.

If you need it insite-packages, omit the-eswitch:pip install .. The-eswitch is for editable installs serving the development purposes.

from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='foo',
version='1.0',
packages=['foo'],
)
Finally, run pip install . from /my/lib/dir.
