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.
