import pip pip.main(['install', 'boltons']) Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): boltons in ./anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages 0
This is easy, short, and uses existing syntax and an existing module. Yes, I know technically the API isn't promised; I wouldn't object to making that API official. But PLEASE, no new syntax for doing this! Btw. On failure:
pip.main(['install', 'nonesuch']) Collecting nonesuch Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement nonesuch (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for nonesuch 1

Alternative syntax might be that of import decorators
@from_pip("attrs") import attr
At which point you may as well just (insert disclaimer about "using pip's internal API isn't supported" here, and glossing over the fact that pip doesn't yet have an install function with this API) do
import pip pip.install('attrs') import attr
Please forgive me for my ignorance, but it doesn't work as written - what's the actual method?
