If the kernel has NOT been started

  1. When dealing with local Python kernels we can use the Python interpreter to list/install packages.
    Theres' no need to start the kernel.

I believe this will always be better as we'd be using the official Python extension API.
2. Also we might as well look into using the Python Tools instead of using the API.
This depends, as we might end up with double prompts, prompt from our tool & prompt from Pytohn tool for confirmation
