try import if not, install in python

I'm trying to install automatically each library in python if it isn't installed.

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from pip._internal import main
pkgs = ['Bio==0.1.0','argparse==1.4.0']
for package in pkgs:
    try:
        import package
    except ImportError:
        main(['install', package])

But, this error occurs:

> Collecting Bio==0.1.0   Using cached
> https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/14/c2/43663d53b93ef7b4d42cd3550631552887f36db02c0150d803c69ba636a6/bio-0.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

I notice that this occur always after the first library installation, e.g.: If I change ['Bio','argparse'] for ['argparse','Bio'], the argparse will be installed, and the Bio not.

python install
