Yep: import subprocess subprocess.call(['pip3','install','pyxform','--user']) works too. But as said, not sure if all distro's call the python3 pip: pip3 (and/or python3). I still would be afraid to force a specific version of a module, as I would be afraid to override some excisting one. I do like your solution though, the libs end up in my user site-packages dir: /home/richard/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages Ah: http://zetcode.com/lang/python/introspection/ >>> import sys >>> sys.executable '/usr/bin/python3' gives you your actual python exe... I wonder if you can create an venv from within QGIS in the subprocess way. Mmm, this works (from within QGIS): >>> import sys >>> py_exe = sys.executable >>> venv_path = '/home/richard/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/venv' >>> subprocess.call([py_exe,'-m','venv', venv_path]) Had to install python3-venv though: sudo apt-get install python3-venv sourcing it does not work with me: >>> subprocess.call(['source', venv_path+'/bin/activate']) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'source' Now somebody with more knowledge of the different python-path/lib-dir's should come in, to tell us if this is usable after activating that venv... Not sure if this would work with the already running python interpreter in QGIS... Idea's?
