Hello,

I have a python library to import, and used this link to do so:  
[link](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Libraries)  
My problem is that the file is .pyd file and not py  
so there is an error that the module not found,

Is it possible to import pyd file using ignition?

You cannot. pyd is an encapsulation of DLL and python. DLLs cannot be loaded in jython.
