Why can't I import the 'thirdweb' Python package despite it being available on PyPI?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

Not sure if this is a bug or feature request, but I’m not able to import the python thirdweb package. The package exists here in pypi.

Hi Brett, this is a known issue with this package. I believe this package relies on binaries that are not bundled in the module itself. Which you cannot add to the workflow environment at this time.

Got it. Do you know when this issue will get resolved?

There is not an timeline at this moment no. But I encourage you to follow the custom Docker issue on our Github tracker, I think that’s the most likely improvement we’d make to support this use case.

do you have the link to the Github Issue regarding custom docker container support in Pipedream workflows

Thanks for trying. I believe this is the issue:

Got it. Thanks for the support. I’ll have to find an alternative in the meantime.

Sure thing happy to help!
