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.

Install Virtualenv 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.
