Description
Yes, we are almost there. But still many issues are scattered on multiple projects outside of RustPython.

Submitting issue or patch for each project will be very helpful, thank you!

hey @youknowone, thanks for your work on this project. I'm interested in using rustpython in an open source project i'm working on. would closing this issue allow projects using rustpython as a crate be able to dynamically execute python files with import statements just like a jupyter notebook? how do i help with this?

@cs50victor Hi, RustPython already can import a lot of pure python packages while it is compatible to RustPython.
This issue is about installing a new package using
pipcommand. This is not related to import step.To help this issue, checking if the new release of those project included the patched code would be helpful. Once all of them are solved, I will update it and test them again.

Libraries are all patched and released.
But recent pip is broken in RustPython #5584

Okay, we fixed macos and linux PIP, but not yet windows.
Actually we never had working PIP on windows yet.
I submitted another patch to platformdirs, which I had to also test when I wrote the first patch 🥲

#6211 finally enabled PIP on windows

I opened #7956 separately, feel free to move if it fits better as a bullet point here.
