# Packages

Using and installing Python packages.

## Default Packages

Many libraries are included by default, here are some examples:

* Pandas (<https://pandas.pydata.org/>)
* NumPy (<https://numpy.org/>)
* SciPy (<https://scipy.org/>)

Default packages can be imported like any other native Python package.

```python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np 
import scipy
```

[Micropip](https://micropip.pyodide.org/en/stable/project/api.html) can be used to install additional Python packages that aren't automatically supported (and their dependencies).

```python
import micropip

# `await` is necessary to wait until the package is available
await micropip.install("faker")

# Import installed package
from faker import Faker

# Use the package!
fake = Faker()
fake.name()
```

This only works for packages that are either pure Python or for packages with C extensions that are built in Pyodide. If a pure Python package is not found in the Pyodide repository, it will be loaded from PyPI.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.quadratichq.com/python/packages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
