Data Loader Plugin Dependencies

Data loader plugins sometimes need custom Python packages. These can be provided in the pkg folder, relative to where the data loader is invoked.

The recommendation is to include a requirements.txt file in the folder where the data loader plugin is located. That file lists all the required packages, with one package dependency per line. For example:

dateutils
requests

To download these packages into the pkg folder, execute the following command (the pkg folder must exist before calling this command):

pip install -r requirements.txt --root pkg
