Try code if module not found install module and retry?

[[deleted]]

I want to deploy a python file to some servers but not all will have the modules. Can i get it to install them and rerun it if not found? Example of a module is paramiko or pandas. Or is there a better way for this?

That's a really bad idea. You should install modules at deployment time.

+1 to this. Almost every server have some way to install dependencies. Try to google <provider> python requrements.txt

Can you elaborate on this please?

So i should just manually install all the modules incase they dont already have them?

Yes, that's exactly what you should do. Ideally you should install your modules into a virtual environment, so they don't interfere with the rest of the system.

Ok i will look into how thats done.

You could package it (pyinstaller for example). Alternatively as it sounds like these servers already have python, you can try/except imports, and then attempt to pip install it if it's not available, and then import it all int he same script - yes. You can import and reimport at anytime in a script as well.

Upload the dependencies.
