Is it possible to install and use pip with IronPython via the commandline? (I am not doing this via PTVS.)

Things I have tried already:

  • Looked at this SO question: Installing Python Packages - IronPython, but it hasn't been answered or updated for more than a year.

  • Looked at this answer on Yahoo, but the link to distribute_setup.py is broken. I got a copy from here: distribute_setup.py, it terminates with this:

    IOError: System.IO.IOException: Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.

  • Taken a look at the pip docs, but this is obviously for CPython, not IronPython.

  • Followed the steps on Steps to installing setuptools on IronPython. According to the comments, it worked in August last year, but I got the same error as above:

    IOError: System.IO.IOException: Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.

  • Taken a look at the full output of these errors. It seems to pick up the egg, but fails later on in the process during a call to urllib2.urlopen(url):

    Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

Any ideas on what else to try, or if this is likely to work at all?

  • Thanks @PawelJasinski! I had tried that, but not with IronPython 2.7.5b3. I guess this question should be marked a duplicate, but I don't think I have the rep to do it. – Captain Whippet Nov 05 '14 at 10:14

I installed regular (CPython) on my hard drive and had my IronPython Engine setsearchpaths Importing external module in IronPython to its Lib and Lib\site-packages directories. I could then install packages into CPython and use them in my IronPython scripts. This may not work for every package though.
