I have been looking at the hello-world python script, and wanted to know how I might add a python package to my program.

Hi,  
the MyDaemon or MyDaemonSwing example is based on the HelloWorld URCap. You can take a look in there to get a better idea on how to implement a Python Daemon for your own URCap.

Good morning,  
I have looked at the examples, and the hello-world script that I’m referring to is inside those examples.  
I would like to add a python package to my python daemon

Thanks for the link, it is exactly in the direction that I am wanting to go.  
I looked at the thread and jacob recommended putting the package in the resources folder, and then “copying it to the native Linux system from Java”  
How would I do this with something that one can only download “system wide” through pip or apt-get?  
Thanks in advance for any help!
