Cannot load the file <file path> with the loader <dataplugin name>

More information:
"Module cannot be loaded from compiled python script"

Solution

This is expected behavior. The Python DataPlugin environment is not looking for any additional packages. A Python DataPlugin is only capable to use the built-in functionality of the installed python. This is done by design, to avoid situations where things are missing in a local python environment.

Additional Information

A Python DataPlugin exported and imported as URI should be usable on any machine having USI.
