python modules in gcloud deployment manager template

Question

Is it possible to use modules installed via python pip in gcloud deployment manager templates (python templates, not jinja)?

I have only being able to find reference of how to import .py files through a deployment manager schema file. e.g.

app.py.schema

info:
title: app
author: me
description: this is a description

imports:
- path: helper.py

i.e. i can only import a single .py at a time, so not useful for importing pip modules.

this link explains that to use libraries that is not explicitly supported we need to import the full library source. Although it does not mention if this full library source can actually be a pip module, or is it only referring to single .py files.

The module i'm trying to use inside my python templates is netaddr for manipulating ip address and subnets.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

what you are looking for it not possible, you cannot install module using pip with interacting the the API, unless if you want to import the whole netaddr module as source code in your *.yaml config file (by adding the path for all the files related to the module) then importing which function your *.py file as Google mention in the documentation some library are supported, even with that some sys and network call will be rejected, you may think about using template_module
