Hello there,

 

I’m currently working on a workflow for which I need a python package that is not preinstalled with FME.

I tried installing the package according to this help page:

https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/Installing-Python-Packages.htm

 

Unfortunately I got a dependency collision with other packages that are already installed.
So I tried setting up a virtual environment but FME doesn't seem to support custom venvs.

My question is:
Without uninstalling or up-/downgrading the already installed python packages,
what is the official way to avoid such dependency issues?

 

Many thanks in advance.

You can point FME to use a different Python Installation, documentation on how to do that is here: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407517871629-Choosing-a-different-Python-Interpreter-in-FME-installation
