How to use blist module without installing it?

Question

Without installing blist, I am trying to use blist_1.3.6 module by setting the environment variable PYTHONPATH. However I am still getting the error below. Is there any way to use this _blist without installing it? I can see _blist.c is C language file.

File "/path/blist-1.3.6/blist/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from blist._blist import *
ImportError: No module named _blist

_blist is the module implemented by the object that results from compiling _blist.c and creating a shared library from it. You can't simply import _blist.c directly.
