Python interpreter¶
A full Python interpreter install is embedded within Boundless Desktop. Desktop does not use any Python interpreter or modules that you have installed on your system.
To manage packages available to the embedded Python install, open the included
Command Shell application (as an administrator) and use pip
:
pip --help
Please see pip documentation for more details.
Pre-installed Packages¶
The IPython
and Jupyter
packages are installed with Desktop. This allows
for easy installation of the IPyConsole plugin for QGIS, an excellent
additional console to QGIS’s embedded Python console.
