Using External Python Libraries

Is there any way to use libraries like pickle, or-tools, openCV, etc. with the app?

Hi @chirag.hegde01 , thanks for the question!

All Python libraries are installed by us, and we have all the popular ones installed! You can find the list of supported libraries in the code editor sidebar.
We can add more libraries, but only if they are suitable for our platform and are widely used.

pickle library is already installed, I believe it comes with Python by default.
Our platform is not well suited for computer vision tasks that use OpenCV since you don’t have access to the webcam, etc.
For or-tools, if there’s a strong need for it, and lots of other users can also benefit from it, then we will consider adding it.

I hope that answers your questions,

Weichen

@chirag.hegde01 just following up, we’ve recently added support for adding your own external libraries. this means you can create your own environment with your custom Python version and any libraries and their respective versions. See the docs here: Code Environments | MecSimCalc Docs.
