PyPI Package Installation

User problem

Users currently lack the ability to install specific packages from PyPI that are necessary for their data analysis. Because Plotly cannot explicitly bundle every potential third-party dependency, users face limitations when trying to use external libraries that are not pre-installed in the environment.

What is it?

This proposed feature is an automated dependency installation capability for the Plotly Studio AI agent. It allows the AI agent to interface directly with PyPI to locate and integrate external packages dynamically within a user's project environment.

What does it allow users to do?

• Access the entire PyPI ecosystem: Users can leverage any third-party Python library required for their specific workflows without waiting for official platform updates.

• Streamline environment setup: Instead of manually configuring environments or requesting package additions, users can rely on the AI agent to automatically handle the installation of missing dependencies on the fly.

• Expand analysis capabilities: Users can execute more complex, specialized data science and visualization tasks by seamlessly incorporating niche or advanced external tools into their Plotly Studio projects.
