Python-Jira installation without Admin rights
Question: I am writing a python tool that should get information from Jira. I wanted to
use Python-Jira but cannot install it properly. I am using (have to use)
python 2.7 which doesn't come with pip and I cannot install pip because I do
not have local admin rights (and won't get them without hassle).

Is there a way to install/use python-jira without the pip installation
process? I tried copying the jira package to the site-packages folder but it
seems I run into dependency problems ('ImportError: No module named six.moves'
when I try import Jira from jira) which to resolve it seems I have to follow
the pip installation process.

Thanks for your help.


Answer: Install [Virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) and you will have
your own version of Python and Pip, so you should be able to install jira-
python properly.

There is a lot of guides how to do it.

[For Linux I recommend this one.](http://askubuntu.com/questions/244641/how-
