Summary
When using python on Apporto you will more than likely use python modules. In order to use python modules you will have to use code below in order to do so. The reason why is because on the Apporto VM’s they do not allow you to install libraries on the c drive because of security purposes. You can however install libraries to your user drive.
How to install Modules
To install modules you will have to use pip to install them.
Pip install (name of your packages
Example:
pip install psycopg2
Code for Python Script
You will need to add this code below to the top of your script to access the modules you installed.
Code:
import sys
package_directory = '/path/to/your/package/directory'
sys.path.append(package_directory)
# Now you can import modules from the specified directory
import my_module
# Rest of your script
Example:
import sys
package_directory = 'Z:/GVSU/Users/mccrakei_gvsu/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python311/site-packages'
sys.path.append(package_directory)
import psycopg2
(Please note where my username is “mccrakei_gvsu” will be changed to your username_gvsu.)
