I am trying to import kafka python library in ignition but while importing it gives no module found error

Ignition
1

I have dowloded the zip file from this url - kafka-python · PyPI.

I have extracted the zip file and placed into this path C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib.

But it gives module not found error.

Is there any solution how can i import this library in ignition ?

If this has any dependencies on C libraries then Ignition can't import it natively. You will need to see if this python library is compatible with jython.

The people I know using Kafka in Ignition use the official java client, either wrapped in an SDK module, or dropped into lib/core/common.
