Using pip install within PyScripter

I want to install a Python package within a script in PyScripter.

import pip
package = 'xlsxwriter'
pip.main(['install', package])

Following error occurs:

Collecting xlsxwriter
  Downloading XlsxWriter-0.9.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl (136kB)
Exception:

    raise obj
AttributeError: DebugOutput instance has no attribute 'isatty'

Why does this error occur und how to fix it? The same code works well when using the Python interpreter directly, but not with PyScripter for some reason.

Thanks a lot for your help.

import sys
import subprocess

# implement pip as a subprocess:
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', 
'<packagename>'])
