How to import system python modules in a recipe?

How can I import system python modules like selenium in a recipe? I tried this but I got an error "No module named selenium". I want to use selenium to work around javascript to get the source page. Is there any way to use it in a recipe?

You cannot, calibre comes with it s own python, you cant use system python with it

Can I install it to calibre's python using development environment?

If you are on linux you can use the distro provided calibre which will typically use system python

I'm on linux and I'm using calibre source code as a development environment. So I want to know if I can just put selenium into the source code? Thanks.

If you are using calibre source code as described here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html

then you are not using your distro provided calibre. Instead uninstall it and install the calibre package your distro provides, then you will be able to use calibre.
