Preparing Deployment Packages

Python

To add extra Python modules into the package use “-t" to install them into the package

pip install <module name> -t <package path>
pip3 install <module name> -t <package path>

On current Debian/Ubuntu you might get a

DistutilsOptionError: can't combine user with prefix, exec_prefix/home, or install_(plat)base

in this case add a “–system” switch to your call, e.g.

pip install <module name> --system -t <package path>

Import/Export

Import is possible in the code editor (File menu). Export is possible via the global “Actions” menu.
