 1 | # Install any python module for Blender python
 2 | 
 3 | 
 4 | If you are a Blender user you might also wonder why the module you just installed for python didn't work in the Blender python console or in the python script you wrote in Blender.
 5 | 
 6 | The reason for this is that Blender has its own python version and python libraries "inside" which it is using. 
 7 | 
 8 | So to make it work in Blender too, you have to install the modules you are using for the python version in Blender as well.
 9 | 
10 | This little script shall simplify this task for you.
11 | 
12 | Just copy and paste the code in your text editor in Blender, then just change this one line here:
13 | 
14 |     installModule("pandas")
15 |     
16 | and replace "pandas" with whatever module you want to install.
17 | 
18 | Then run the script.

24 | Small remark:
25 | 
26 | I am working on MacOS. So i am pretty sure it works on MacOS. I tried to implement the functionality for Linux and Windows as well. Unfortunately i couldn't test that. If there are errors, please open an issue and i try to fix that. Thank you.
