Pip install for IronPython

[lmnoc1]

Hi I have been reading these three threads from three years ago, trying to figure out if there is easier way to pip install python modules through cmd

IronPython installation + Rhino 5 / Rhino 6 / Rhino WIP

Over the last few months, we received several reports about issues with independent IronPython installations (IIPI) and Rhino. IIPI are only installations of IronPython made via MSI files, and they appear in the Control Panel like this: [image] It is possible to install IronPython via folder decompression, and that has no impact on Rhino. I installed both IronPython 2.7.5 and IronPython 2.7.7 final from the IronPython website and checked for compatibility with running the _EditPythonScript e…

How to install mpmath, enum and future into Rhino IronPython package directly?

Based on what I’ve read, it’s possible to install other packages onto IronPython using pip and ipy.exe, using the Command Prompt with Administrator Access. However, these (pip and ipy.exe) appear to not be built in with the IronPython that ships with Rhino 5. My current workaround is that I install another version of IronPython 2.7.5 in C:\Program Files(x86), then do what @stevebaer does in his post here about enabling Frames (link here) and install mpmath, future and enum there using Command Pr…

Installing a new Python module in Rhino

Hello, Is it possible to install new Python module to use with the Rhino Python script interface? I’d like to use the CSV module for example which I downloaded. But installation instruction ask for a classic Python machine that I don’t have and that probably won’t be usable in Rhino. Any idea ? or explanation ? Thank you

I am wondering have there been any update since?
Is there a easier way now install packages in IronPython 2.7.8?
If I pip install compatable 2.7 IronPython package through command line, will it just work in Rhino and gh, or do I still need to set something up somewhere else?

I tried many things today. Including trying to replace the original IronPython directory in Rhino with a full install. However it doesn’t work and I still have to go back to the old method.
Here is my whole solution, just in case if anyone is having trouble understanding other posts:

1. Find IronPython version in either rhino or gh python editor

import sys
print sys.version_info

    mine returns 2 7 8
    (source: https://www.w3resource.com/python-exercises/python-basic-exercise-2.php)

2. So I downloaded version 2.7.8 and did a new install (wont affect my installed Rhino IronPython)
   (Source: https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython2/releases/tag/ipy-2.7.8)

3. Add newly installed IronPython to Environment Variable Path
   windows search -> edit the system environment variables -> environment variables -> user variables for xxx -> double click on “Path” -> New -> type “C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7” or whatever path you installed

4. Install PIP and your package
   windows search “cmd” -> right click run as admin
   to install pip or make sure pip is installed

ipy -X:Frames -m ensurepip

    to install package (use package “xlrd” as an example here)

ipy -X:Frames -m pip install xlrd

    (source: https://ironpython.net/blog/2014/12/07/pip-in-ironpython-275.html)

5. Add the module directory to Rhino search scope
   I did a search in “C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7”
   and seems that pip put the installed “xlrd” package in the directory “C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages”

    In Rhino type in the command “EditPythonScript”.
    In this Python editor go Tools -> Options -> Files.
    Add directory “C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages”
    and “C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\Lib”

Should have no error now when running

import xlrd

in either rhino or gh python editor, should work now
