QPYPI¶

You can extend your QPython capabilities by installing packages.

Package Installation Support¶

Pure Python Packages¶

QPython supports Python packages developed with pure Python. You can install these packages directly using pip install through QPython's PIP Client or QPYPI on dashboard.

Pre-compiled Packages¶

If some packages (or their dependencies) are developed with Rust/C/C++, QPython cannot support them directly because there is no compiler toolchain support on QPython. However, the QPython team has pre-compiled some commonly used packages and published them in QPython's QPYPI/Extensions for users to install easily.

Installing Pre-compiled Packages¶

You can install pre-compiled packages in the following ways:

Through QPython App: Install directly from QPYPI or Extensions within the QPython app
Through PyPI: Visit https://pypi.org/user/qpythonx/ to view available packages
Via pip command:
pip install xxx-qpython - Packages with the -qpython suffix
pip install xxx-aipy - Packages with the -aipy suffix (typically AI/ML related packages)

Note: We usually add one of these suffixes based on the package's intended use case.

Requesting New Packages¶

If you need a package that is not currently supported:

Raise an issue in the qpython.org project
The QPython team will consider pre-compiling and adding it to the repository

Note: Because of different computer architectures, we cannot guarantee that QPYPI includes all packages from PyPI.
