Included Packages

Your installation of Spotfire includes a Python interpreter and several packages it needs to run under Spotfire. To run the Python interpreter, you must have the 64-bit version of Spotfire.

Important: The packages listed in this table are required for Spotfire and the Python interpreter to work together. Removing or altering these packages can cause your Python data functions to fail.

Avoid installing packages that are already included in the Spotfire Service for Python. Installing a different version of an included package can cause unexpected results.
