pain to install thoughts about minet HOT 4 CLOSED

I should investigate if it's possible to (I guess it is), to trigger a pip install programmatically from python. If so I guess triggering the install of dragnet the first time you actually require it could be a good option. Since I want to include also pyppeteer in the future, this could be also done likewise. This would mean more packaging issues though.

Not sure about triggering pip install automatically. Looks like a little bit invasive too me.
And this process might encounter user rights issues if not executed inside a virtualenv.

IMHO it would suffice detecting the missing dependency and print a nice documentation on how to install it.

And way easier to implement :). I'm sold!
