Thanks Andrea!
Now I understand it. I checked the Jython 2.5.2 which comes with the community 
Python plugin for GeoServer 2.11.2. urllib2 is contained in Jython 2.5.2 but 
requests not.
I found the latest Jython version is jython-2.7.0 which contains a lot more 
native packages than Jython 2.5.2. Can I simply copy 2.7.0 to 
"geoserver\WEB-INF\lib\" to replace the old 2.5.2?
Another question is how I can install custom packages that are neither part of 
the native packages for Python nor Jython on GeoServer, e.g. "requests" and 
"simplekml" etc.
Cheers,Alex

 Hi Alex,GeoServer does not use the operating system python, but the Jython 
scripting language,which runs fully in the JVM.As a result, you cannot use any 
of the native packages.
I don't use Jython personally so cannot share experiences, but I've googled 
aroundwith "jython, urllib2" and found this 
page:http://www.jython.org/docs/library/urllib2.html

The documentation above is about Jython 2.5.2, the same version used by 
GeoServer,hopefully it will be of use to you
CheersAndrea

Dear all,
I am with GeoServer 2.11.2 and am planning to do some scripting on it.
I would like to run some custom Python scripts either as Apps that can be 
called via http or as WPS services. I have managed to install the scripts 
plugin on GeoServer, and the "apps" and "wps" folders are both visible in the 
"scripts" parent folder.
I have tried to save some custom scripts in the apps folder and called via 
http, for instance, "http://localhost:8090/ geoserver/script/apps/hello", but 
it failed due to "unable to find packages". Those packages that GeoServer was 
unable to find include "requests" and "urllib2" etc but I am pretty sure they 
were both installed properly on the Python. I am wondering how GeoServer gets 
to know where the Python (2.7.13) directory is and how Python gets utilised by 
GeoServer on my computer via either http or wps.
I have posted some questions on stackoverflow, but haven't received much 
positive reply.
Much appreciated!
Alex
