Install additional python library

Is it possible to install additional python libraries (pyperclip in this case) for use in calibre (in a module of the Action Chains plugin)?

If you want to use a pure python library you can always add it to sys.path to make it importable in your plugin. Bundle the whl file for the library in the plugin zip file, then extract it somewhere on the filesystem and add it to sys.path.
