I installed the python-keycloak library in my host PC using "pip install python-keycloak", I made my tests outside ignition and everything works fine. Once I tested everything I tried to do it inside Ignition scripting. I downloaded the files from the library and pasted the folder under ...user-lib/pylib. I copy and pasted my previously tested code on a scripting action by a button. I tried to execute the script by I always have an error. Is there any way of importing a third party library from python into ignition and that it actually works just as it does outside ignition? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/b/8b9ce59a289d1e59dbd55d05f14944c403281040.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/3/23a448d298f4494b93c05718fb7e1adf214baee9.png) I am running Ignition 8.1.45 ---

From the python-keycloak page. > Python version support > We only support Python versions that have active or security support by the Python Software Foundation. You can find the list of active Python versions [here](https://endoflife.date/python). This means that it uses python 3. Ignition is limited to Jython (not Cpython like normal python 3) which is a Java based implementation of python 2.7 ---

[@inductiveautomation](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/groups/inductiveautomation) , is there any plans to have an updated Jython version implemented in Ignition? Which would be a java based implementation of Python 3.x? ---

> [@mathieurleblanc33](#): > > java based implementation of Python 3.x? Jython 3 doesn't yet exist. Even if it did, it would not be able to load the C-library based extension modules that are so popular in CPython. (like numpy) ---

But in practice, there's really two broad reasons people are actually asking that question: They've heard that Python 2.7 is deprecated/old/unmaintained/a security risk/whatever. But that doesn't apply to Ignition, for a few reasons: When folks say "Python" out in the world, the… ---
