I’m behind a firewall. Is it possible to use pypi packages that have been saved locally? I usually use the following command with my system python installation :
Pip3 install —no-index —find-links=DIR package.whl
Try using python shell from Tools > Advanced > Open Python Shell menu to make modifications and install packages manually in the python environment that is managed by Rhino.
Also take a look at this post that discusses improvements to package management in the script editor in Rhino WIP.
Python scripts now support extended pip options like:
#! python 3
# r "pip: package --find-links https://example.com/packages"
import os
# your python script here
Added a YT ticket to improve this in Rhino WIP:
RH-93679 Python 3 pip can not install packages from local file (whl, tar.gz)
