Hi Aron,

with the EnMAP-Box plugin we are confronted with missing PIP packages quite often. Therefore we implemented a "PIP Package Installer" (screenshot below, source code here: https://bitbucket.org/hu-geomatics/enmap-box/src/develop/enmapbox/dependencycheck.py)

In case of missing admin rights you can use the PIP "--user" argument to install packages to the user's home folder

D:\OSGeo4W\bin\python3.EXE -m pip install --user lightgbm

The absolute python executable path can be retrieved with "shutil.which('python') "

Greetings,

Benjamin

@Pedro:
Tried it today on Windows w OSGeo QGIS and failed right away. But in a different way:

If I launch OSGeo QGIS and ask for the python executable's path (sys.executabe), I get 'C:/OSGeo4W/bin/qgis-bin.exe'. which looks like entry point is for QGIS. So subprocess calls that and a new QGIS window opens.

Not feeling like tackling this and probably other cases.
So back to download+including those bins I reckon.

@Johannes:
Thank you. Yes realizing that now..

Cheers,
Aron

Trying to find a smart way to install Python dependencies for the users that will not potentially not work or even break stuff is a very hard thing(tm). Check out these two QEPs for a lot of discussion and possible approaches:

Hey Aron,
I did explore that route, but I found out that it would fail when the user did not have administrator rights (or even if QGIS had not been ran as administrator on Windows). Did you find it to be different?

Cheers,
Pedro

Thank you, I checked out your plugin - yes that seems also a good way.
I already had the logic to detect, throw message, guide to dialog, etc... implemented similar to yours.

But I wanted to let pip manage the actual package, so I went with the subprocess+pip route. Here is a minimum working example:

import subprocess
import sys

try:
subprocess.check_call((sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'h3<=3.99'))
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
raise e  # handle any errors here instead

I connected it to a button in a dialog. And catch stdout, stderr and the exit code of the subprocess so I can show the user what is happening.

Have not yet tried on other platforms than Linux. But sys.executable is there to solve the ambiguity of python executable path.

Best regards,
Aron
