Command prompt user package

Hi,

I need to use an external python package (openpyxl) to connect FLUX with a data sheet. I installed that package in the FLUX's 'lib' folder but when i try to import it in the command prompt zone, an error showing 'no module named openpyxl found' appears.

How can i install external python package in the correct way?

Grazie!

use python import

e.g. import sys

sys.version

works for python 2.7 packages, for external don't works for example:

Can not execute the following command :
import scipy

Problem to import the module : scipy
Enter sys.path to see if this module is accessible from your jython session

If you want to create or to modify excel file, you can have a look at the macro called BHSplineToExcel (located in C:\Altair\Extensions\Macros\BHSplinetoexcel.PFM for standard installation)

For example, the jxl library is already available.

from jxl import *
from jxl.write import *
import os
from java.io import *

name = 'name_of_file'

workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(File(os.getcwd()+'/'+name+'.xls'))
sheet = workbook.createSheet('BH', 0)

label1 = Label(0, 0, 'Material')
label2 = Label(1, 0, mat.name)

sheet.addCell(label1)
sheet.addCell(label2)

workbook.write()
workbook.close()

If you want to add a library to Flux, you have to specify the path in the options by following the next steps:

- Open Flux supervisor

- Click on [Options] (on bottom left)

- in [access path] click on [Python]

- and then fill in the fields for the working directory of classes or libraries

I hope it will help
