Testing some functions from potpourri3d library to python3 Component in grasshopper, needs work and thanks to Nick sharp’s repo and openai, any comments and additions are welcome, i want to take a deeper look at the distance heat method, Install potpourri from PyPi using the python.exe used by the python3 interpreter in rhino8 .

That’s neat, thanks for sharing!

Any reason you did not want to use the RhinoCode requirements mechanism for installing Python packages? Just adding # r: potpourri3d as the first line of your scripts seems to install all required dependencies for me. More info here: Rhino - Using Python Packages

In any case, I would refrain from doing this manual installation step, you might end up messing up other users’ Python environments:

def _ensure_pp3d() -> None:
    try:
        globals()["pp3d"] = __import__("potpourri3d")
    except ImportError:
        subprocess.check_call(
            [sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "--quiet", "potpourri3d>=0.2.0"]
        )
        globals()["pp3d"] = __import__("potpourri3d")

Have you tried the Lion Fish Grasshopper plugin? It is based on the same C++ library (https://geometry-central.net/) that potpourri3d itself is based on. You might be trying to do something not available in Lion Fish, I haven’t looked into it enough.
