Question

Can I use Python packages such as numpy in DO Functions?

I tried to create a Function that uses numpy, so I started the code with “import numpy”. But, I got an error saying that there is no such package. Is it possible to use numpy, or other scientific Python libraries, in Functions?

With our recently-released Python 3.11 runtime, we have included this package as well as a few others.

For packages not provided by the runtime, you can follow these steps to provide them alongside your deployed function code, as long as the total deployed function code does not exceed 48 MB.
