Python packages

Python offers a variety of packages available in the central Python Package Index (PyPI). You can use these packages in your project.

Default packages

The Python engine used and shipped with Measmatic already includes the following packages by default:

• numpy
• scipy
• debugpy
• scikit_rf
• xlsxWriter
• win32com
• lxml

How to install packages

If you want to use another package, you can install it using pip (pip installs packages). pip is the package installer for Python and is used to install packages from the Python package index and other indexes.
