# Loading packages
2021-01-03 12:00:31 +00:00
Only the Python standard library is available after importing Pyodide.
To use other packages, youll need to load them using either:
- {any}`pyodide.loadPackage` for packages built with pyodide, or
- `micropip.install` for pure Python packages with wheels available on PyPi or
from other URLs.
```{note}
`micropip` can also be used to load packages built in pyodide (in
which case it relies on {any}`pyodide.loadPackage`).
```
Alternatively you can run Python code without manually pre-loading packages.
You can do this with {any}`pyodide.runPythonAsync`
which will automatically download all packages that the code snippet imports.
It only supports packages included in Pyodide (not on PyPi) at present.
## Loading packages with pyodide.loadPackage
Packages can be loaded by name, for those included in the official pyodide
repository using e.g.,
```js
pyodide.loadPackage('numpy')
```
It is also possible to load packages from custom URLs,
```js
pyodide.loadPackage('https://foo/bar/numpy.js')
```
in which case the URL must end with `<package-name>.js`.
When you request a package from the official repository, all of that package's
dependencies are also loaded. Dependency resolution is not yet implemented
when loading packages from custom URLs.
In general, loading a package twice is not permitted. However, one can override
a dependency by loading a custom URL with the same package name before loading
the dependent.
Multiple packages can also be loaded in a single call,
```js
pyodide.loadPackage(['cycler', 'pytz'])
```
`pyodide.loadPackage` returns a `Promise`.
```javascript
pyodide.loadPackage('matplotlib').then(() => {
// matplotlib is now available
});
```

## Micropip
### Installing packages from PyPI
Pyodide supports installing pure Python wheels from PyPI with `micropip`. You
can use the `then` method on the `Promise` that {func}`micropip.install`
returns to do work once the packages have finished loading:

```py
def do_work(*args):
import snowballstemmer
stemmer = snowballstemmer.stemmer('english')
print(stemmer.stemWords('go goes going gone'.split()))
import micropip
micropip.install('snowballstemmer').then(do_work)
```
2020-05-11 08:30:25 +00:00
Micropip implements file integrity validation by checking the hash of the
downloaded wheel against pre-recorded hash digests from the PyPi JSON API.

### Installing wheels from arbitrary URLs
2020-05-11 08:06:33 +00:00
Pure python wheels can also be installed from any URL with micropip,
```py
import micropip
micropip.install(
'https://example.com/files/snowballstemmer-2.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl'
)
```
Micropip currently decides whether a file is a url based on whether it ends in ".whl" or not.
2020-05-11 08:06:33 +00:00
The wheel name in the URL must follow [PEP 427 naming
convention](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/#file-format), which will
2020-05-11 08:34:34 +00:00
be the case if the wheels is made using standard python tools (`pip wheel`,
2020-05-11 08:06:33 +00:00
`setup.py bdist_wheel`).
2020-05-11 08:38:27 +00:00
All required dependencies need also to be previously installed with `micropip`
or {any}`pyodide.loadPackage`.
2020-05-11 08:38:27 +00:00
If the file is on a remote server, it must set Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers to
2020-05-11 08:06:33 +00:00
allow access. Otherwise, you can prepend a CORS proxy to the URL. Note however
that using third-party CORS proxies has security implications, particularly
since we are not able to check the file integrity, unlike with installs from
PyPi.
## Example
Adapting the setup from the section on {ref}`using_from_javascript`
a complete example would be,
```html
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
// set the pyodide files URL (packages.json, pyodide.asm.data etc)
2020-12-25 21:05:54 +00:00
window.languagePluginUrl = 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/pyodide/v0.16.1/full/';
</script>
2020-12-25 21:05:54 +00:00
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/pyodide/v0.16.1/full/pyodide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
pythonCode = `
def do_work(*args):
import snowballstemmer
stemmer = snowballstemmer.stemmer('english')
print(stemmer.stemWords('go goes going gone'.split()))
import micropip
micropip.install('snowballstemmer').then(do_work)
`
languagePluginLoader.then(() => {
return pyodide.loadPackage(['micropip'])
}).then(() => {
pyodide.runPython(pythonCode);
})
