Hi,

I would like to know the method to install a new python library in Ignition like BeautifulSoup. I downloaded a file named “beautifulsoup4-4.4.1.tar.gz” at [crummy.com/software/Beautifu … nload/4.4/](http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/download/4.4/).  
Where do I extract it ?

Thanks,

External python libraries can go in \Ignition\user-lib\pylib

However, it looks like Beautiful Soup uses CPython. You can only use Jython libraries in Ignition.
