Adding Python modules to FreeCAD 0.17

[MarkkuTM]

I have tried to pip install pandas (and its dependencies) to Python in FreeCAD 0.17, but cannot do it, with error messages mentioning permissions. I can provide more details about my failed attempts if this is needed. Does anyone have a working method to achieve this?

(I can pip install pandas and make it work in Python 3.6 which is not associated with FreeCAD)

Hello Markku,

it is not possible to use native packages of pip. Because the compilers are not compatible(diff versions). Please use the FreeCAD-Conda-Version e.g. FreeCAD_0.18.15643_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015_x64.7z. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases

Thank you. This solved my problem, and I can stop pulling my hair. I was able to pip install pandas from CMD. It seems all the dependencies (numpy, dateutil, pytz, and six) are already included in the FreeCAD 0.18 build I downloaded (FreeCAD_0.18.15646_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015_x64.7z).

I did a quick check of pandas functionality in the FreeCAD 0.18 Pre Python console, everything seems to work. (I also followed the instructions in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 4&start=20 on how to import pip functionality into the python console and the examples of how to use it there, and it works, though to install a python package or module I think you have to run FreeCAD.exe as administrator.)

Now its time to develop my scripts.
