At the moment, it takes some effort to figure out what Python install is used by FME Form and what Python install is used by FME Flow. This becomes a problem once additional libraries need to be installed on FME Form and FME Flow, especially if they are installed on the same physical machine or AWS instance. 

I would like to propose some changes which will improve user experience:

  • making Python install locations more obvious during FME install;
  • having the same default location for FME Form and FME Flow Python installs;
  • exposing Python install(s) used by FME Form in Utilities > FME Options;
  • somehow exposing Python install(s) used by FME Flow in FME Flow WebUI;
  • making repointing FME Form/FME Flow to the preferred Python install… well, effortless.
