Hello, I have faced some problem regarding import API library into Ignition Edge. I have an API which is the code is wrote in C and wrapped using Python. My problem is the Ignition Edge give an error when I executed the API. Is there is any way to make the Ignition Edge able to read the API library. 🙏 ---

Probably not. igntion uses Jython > **[Python In Ignition](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056397252-Python-In-Ignition)** > > An Advanced Primer — Python, Libraries, Versions, and the Future >   > Background > Ignition provides users with the ability to do Python scripting as a core part of the Ignition platform.

Since the majority of the most popular Python libraries do require C libraries, the selection of Python libraries that can be used in Ignition directly is fairly limited. For example, numpi, scipi, pandas, and scikit-learn are all unavailable. However, libraries intended for the web and other less data-intensive applications sometimes work. [Requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/) is a good example of a versatile REST library that you can import into Ignition. ---

Which meant ignition only accepted Jython and there is no other way to synchronize between the API with ignition? ---

You wont be able to import anything using C because ignition uses the Jython interpreter. ---

maybe there is a way to load your c to java instead, but no idea if that would help. And might require installing it as a module
