How to import a PIP package through Jython?

Question

In reference to hooking into PIP from Jython , It looks like, possibly, PIP is included with Jython:

• How can I install various Python libraries in Jython?

• Jython easy_install error

• How can I use jython setup.py install?

How, specifically, from Jython itself, is PIP invoked? Both to install a package and, more importantly, to import that package for reference?

I've seen no specific code examples written in Jython.

Answer 1

Once Jython 2.7 is installed to ~/ then:

thufir@doge:~$
thufir@doge:~$ jython --version
Jython 2.7.0
thufir@doge:~$
thufir@doge:~$ pip --version
pip 1.6.dev1 from /home/thufir/jython/Lib/site-packages (python 2.7)
thufir@doge:~$
thufir@doge:~$ pip freeze
thufir@doge:~$
thufir@doge:~$ pip install virtualenv

although it's not strictly necessary to use the virtual env.
