Install a Python library from a path

[FDJ]

Hi,

I am trying to install (or just import?) a Python library that is currently installed locally.

The library is a corporate one, so I can´t directly install it through Package.installPackages(['']) call.

Suppose the path was: 'C:\\Temp\\athpkgs\\hyda.pyc' --> got this from doing 'hyda.__file__' in python

How can I use this library in Alteryx python tool?

Hi @FDJ 

If it is already installed, you should be able to just call it/import it. 

Ex: from selenium import webdriver

Ex: import pandas as pd

It's not recognized as a module, so I would need to properly install or make the appropriate call to the library

This post should give you a good idea:

Hi @FDJ ,

I think this might be what you're looking for,

To copy and paste,

from ayx import Alteryx
hydra = Alteryx.importPythonModule('C:\\Temp\\athpkgs\\hyda.pyc')
