Freeze options:

• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bbfreeze/1.1.3

However, your target server should have the environment you want -> you should be able to 'create' it. If it doesn't, you should build your software to match the environment.

I found this handy guide on how to install custom version of python to a virtualenv, assuming you have ssh access: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5507373/5616110

In virtualenv, you should be able to pip install anything and you shouldn't need to worry about sudo privileges. Of course, having those and access to package manager like apt makes everything a lot easier.
