How do you install pants in Python?
I've been searching a while in Google and couldn't get a straight answer for it.
I'm currently using Linux Mint and Python version 2.7.3.

You couldn't find anything on Google? I search "Python pants" and the first link sent me to that site in the answer below, where there is an installation section – OneCricketeer Mar 16 '16 at 16:12

To give a little detail, installing a release from pypi is probably the best way. Pants has a shell script that handles that install. This is all available in the documentation but here it is without needing an outside link:
curl -L -O https://pantsbuild.github.io/setup/pants && chmod +x pants && touch pants.ini
You are ready to go. Run ./pants --version and that will create the pants virtualenv for you.
