Using with Blender

By default, many versions (such as the version packaged with Ubuntu) of Blender support packages installed to the system Python library; in this case, no additional steps are required.

For Blender versions which do not share Python with the system-level install (such as Windows and snap versions) can be used with one of these two methods:

1. If the Python version of the system and Blender are the same, the system library path can be appended to the Blender path (import sys; sys.path += ['<location>']).
2. It is also possible to directly install packages to the Blender Python libary using pip, however support for this install method can not be provided.

• For example, please see: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/56011/how-to-install-pip-for-blenders-bundled-python.
