Question

Python executable and site-package folder in various versions (e.g. 2022.2.6) ?

Hi.

Is there an authoritative list somewhere of which versions of FME uses which versions of Python ?

So far I have: 2020=3.7, 2021=3.8, 2022=3.9+3.10, 2023=3.11, 2024=3.12

I’m assuming that the Python executable is located in [FME_ROOT]\fmepython###\python3.exe (or the dll’s). Is this correct ?

And where is this executable’s site-packages folder located ?

Is it at [FME_ROOT]\python ? Or [FME_ROOT]\python\python312 ? Or somewhere entirely different ?

And is this location the same in an FME Engine for Server/Flow ?

I’m contemplating adding a special Python package for use in both desktop and server.

Cheers.

It seems that [FME ROOT]\python\python### is the folder to place your custom modules into. Not in a site-packages subfolder, but directly in the folder itself.

And FME Server/Flow engines behave the same way.

I’m closing this topic.

Hi @lifalin2016 ,

 

You can find which versions of Python are included with each build of FME Form and FME Flow by checking our Build Numbers for FME Versions page. 

Your executable’s site-packages folder will be located at “<FMEInstallDir>\python\python<version>”. On FME Server, you can upload your files from the aforementioned directory to Resources>Engine>Plugins>Python>python<version>. You can find out more about Using Python with FME Flow here.

 

Cheers,
