Lisa Owen commented on HAWQ-1245:
---------------------------------
hi [~rlei],
now that HAWQ is using the system python installation, need to have root/sudo
access to install any python modules that might be used in pl/pythonu UDFs.
not all HAWQ admins may have such root access. if it is not possible to create
an alternate, gpadmin-owned python module install directory (which would allow
gpadmin to install modules there), then i guess there is not much we can do
here; feel free to close this issue.
> can HAWQ support alternate python module deployment directory?

> HAWQ no longer embeds python and is now using the system python installation.
> with this change, installing a new python module now requires root/sudo
> access to the system python directories. is there any reason why HAWQ would
> not be able to support deploying python modules to an alternate directory
> that is owned by gpadmin? or using a python virtual environment?
