Installing python packages / Python UAP

[adam_a7]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how I can install further packages on the raspberry pi running windows 10 IoT?
Unfortunately, the Python UAP is not working (see attachment). Therefore I cannot use pip.

Thanks in advance for your help!

What should be happening? I'm seeing your "Hello World" statements in that screenshot as well as seeing that Windows is saying python completed successfully.

maybe my post was confusing. Ignore the screenshot.
How do I include packages which are not installed to my project? I can not use pip in the python uap. Also there is no python environment shown in the solution explorer.

As you described: As long as I don't include other packages examples like hello world run fine.

Best
Adam

Hi Adam,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this but I had to track down the right Python experts.

There is no Python interactive window for the UWP projects at this point. A PTVS interactive window is there, but at this time it will just support local (development machine) installed Python. PIP is currently not supported either.

If the extension is pure python, then it should be just added as content files to the project. If the extension is a C module, we’re looking at ways to document adding it in the future but it’s not available for the current tool release from //Build.

I hope this helps.
