Request additional package

Plugins run in a fixed Python environment provided by the Ocelescope runtime and can only import packages that are available there. First check the overview of available packages to confirm the package is not already included. If your plugin needs a package that is not yet there, you can ask for it to be added to the shared environment.

Note

You need a GitHub account to open an issue. Signing up is free.

The issue template asks for:

• the package name on PyPI (for example pandas),
• an optional version or version constraint (for example >=2.0,<3.0),
• a short explanation of why you want it, ideally with the plugin or method you intend to use it in.

Because the environment is shared by every plugin, requests are reviewed before a package is added.

Need it right away?

If you cannot wait for a package to be added, or it is specific to your plugin, you can bundle wheel files directly inside your plugin instead. See bundling wheel files.
