--- Comment #4 from flywire <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Rafael Lima from comment #0) > LibreOffice comes with a bundled Python that has a limited set of packages > and it is not possible to install additional packages as numpy, pandas or > other popular packages (see 143980 and 143867). *WRONG* - see https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/install-python-package-for-libre-office/66934/15 - Installs scipy and numpy. The big issue is Python needs pip to install packages but it is not implemented in LO and the community is fairly clueless how to install it - see Bug #143867 Clearly the community has little idea how to do it - https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/install-python-package-for-libre-office/66934 Even there the dll is missing. Someone muddling through the process and installing pip and packages doesn't mean everything is fine. A better solution is better support of the existing embedded Python, including pip. > One not-so-complicated way to solve this issue would be to create a new > dialog in "Tools - Options" so the user can choose which Python interpreter > to use. This way the user can install another Python interpreter and add > whatever packages he/she needs. Each version of LO has a known embedded version of Python, a big advantage. That's not the case with a user's system python. I wouldn't support this configuration to replace the standard install. Installing embedded LO python in a Virtual Environment is well worth considering. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
