suggestion: Auto-install Python modules with pip if module is not installed

[tjosepo]

Great work on this project! 🎉

I think it would be a good idea to add code to try and install a Python module if it's not already installed.

I wrote a very simple proof-of-concept for one of my projects here:
https://github.com/tjosepo/deno_numpy/blob/main/src/shared/numpy.ts

import { python, PythonError } from "../../deps.ts";

let numpy: any;

try {
  numpy = python.import("numpy");
} catch (error: unknown) {
  if (!(error instanceof PythonError)) throw error;
  if (error.message !== "No module named 'numpy'") throw error;
  const p = Deno.run({ cmd: "pip install numpy".split(" ") });
  await p.status();
  numpy = python.import("numpy");
}

export default numpy;

This approach isn't perfect as it assumes the user has pip installed, but I feel like it would be a good improvement for most users, and it can be further iterated upon in the future.

If you check utils there are already functions for this purpose only problem is that we still have to figure out a method of doing this since this is a huge security risk I'd someone wanted to install a huge python module on the user's computer

I'm not sure how it is any different than downloading a huge Deno module.
Would prompting the user with window.confirm, with information from https://pypi.org/pypi/{package}/json solve this issue?

sorry for the late response but yes
