I started to write exactly the same :-)  You can also call the plugin 
installer 
API in order to install ORSTools:

import pyplugin_installer
pyplugin_installer.instance().installPlugin('ORSTools', quiet=False)

Uninstalling OSMTools from within itself may be more tricky, but should be 
possible as well. You may need to call the plugin's unload() method 
prior to uninstalling:

self.unload()
pyplugin_installer.instance().uninstallPlugin('opl_bazaprojektow', 
quiet=False)

Also the uninstalling should be the very last line in the function (just don't 
try 
to do anything after it's removed).

Best regards,
