Issue Details

I'm trying to create a DataPlugin using Python. I want to use an external library, for example numpy, in a plugin, but can I import it?

Solution

Unfortunately, Python DataPlugins provided with DIAdem2020 does not allow you to import external libraries. Currently, Python DataPlugins works only with the standard libraries installed with python 3.5.

Additional Information

You can find out what standard libraries are available on The Python Standard Library — Python 3.5.9 documentation.
