Adding importing functions for SV Python interpreter #4

Why is this being added?

  • SV Python API users have requested extended python functionality via importing additional modules (typically a core strength of the Python language) but there is no clear way to accomplish this for the Python interpreter that is shipped with SV. Since module inclusion is also user dependent, it is unlikely that additional packages will be included in the base Python API unless a majority users request specific package functionality. There is a need to establish some quick installation function for adding simple external python packages to the SV Python API to extend user functionality without building them into the base installer.

Example of Problem?

  • matplotlib is often used to create simple visuals and is a commonly imported package by many native Python coders. Because of its package size and limited use within SV, it has been omitted from the base installer and cannot be imported within the SV Python API.
