The docs<https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.7.0/interpreter/python.html#default> for the Python interpreter say: "The interpreter can use all modules already installed (with pip, easy_install...)". For example, on my own personal Zeppelin installation I can access the hdfs package by running sudo -E pip install hdfs in a terminal.
But how can I import a package such as hdfs when I'm running on someone else's Zeppelin installation and can't login to a terminal on the system hosting Zeppelin? At the moment it appears I have to lobby the sysadmin for Zeppelin to run pip install for me. Ideally I could run some command in a notebook to make an arbitrary Python package available to me. Or is this prevented by design to stop different users clashing with each other on a multi-user system? Thanks.
