We currently ship 102 pip packages in the python-agent-driver rootfs. This issue tracks additional packages that would be valuable to support.
Feasible to add
These packages have no hard system-level blockers and could be added with moderate effort:
matplotlib — C extension, but the Agg backend works headless; highest-value missing package
seaborn — pure Python, depends on matplotlib
plotnine — pure Python ggplot2-style plotting, depends on matplotlib
fuzzywuzzy — pure Python fuzzy string matching
memory-profiler — pure Python memory profiling
line-profiler — small C extension, straightforward cross-compile
psutil — C extension for process/system info; most APIs should work
netifaces — small C extension for NIC enumeration
svglib — pure Python SVG-to-ReportLab converter; deps already shipped
diagrams — pure Python diagram-as-code; graphviz binary optional for PNG render
speedtest-cli — pure Python; requires network at runtime
Blocked or impractical
These packages have hard dependencies on system libraries, external binaries, or OS-level subsystems that are unavailable in the Unikraft guest environment:
