Switch python virtual env

[gillsuki]

Hi

My understanding Alteryx Designer uses miniconda underneath the hood to manage the python environment.

You can use the Package.installPackages() to load user specific libraries into the base environment.

Is it possible to switch to an alternative virtual environment into which I can install my user specific libraries?

Regards

Suki

Here's a preview of an upcoming Blog I'll be posting that I believe addresses this issue.

Great, that's similar to my current thinking, I'll activate my own virtual env in the script (my case powershell).
