Available Libraries

The plugin environment comes with a specific version of Python and a set of pre-installed third-party libraries that you can use in your plugins without any extra setup.

Python Version

• Python: 3.11

Pre-installed Pip Packages

You can directly import and use the following libraries in your plugin code:

• beautifulsoup4: A library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files. Useful for web scraping.
• debugpy: The official debugger for Python from Microsoft, enabling remote debugging capabilities (used by the Dev Server).
• lxml: A powerful and Pythonic library for processing XML and HTML.
• packaging: Core utilities for Python packages.
• pillow: The friendly PIL fork (Python Imaging Library). Useful for image manipulation.
• requests: A simple, yet elegant, HTTP library. Essential for making web requests.
• PyYAML: A YAML parser and emitter for Python.

Using Other Libraries

If your plugin requires a library that is not on this list, you can use the built-in PIP-like package manager by declaring it in your plugin's __requirements__.

However, please note that binary extensions are not supported. Only pure-Python libraries can be installed. For more details, see the PIP & Dependencies page.
