Plugin with depedencies

miheerdew · 07-29-2016, 10:40 AM

I would like to use 3rd party library (available on pypi) inside a plugin. This library itself needs another library on pip. How can I use it in my plugin?

Add it to the plugin zip file (you will need to adjust the import statements inside the copy you place in the zip file, if it is a multi-file library)

Thanks. But, doing this for each dependency recursively will be tedious and error prone. Is there a better alternative (for instance using virtualenv?).
