Track additional pip packages for python-agent-driver #82

Description

@danbugs

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:

Package Blocker
aspose-words Proprietary, requires commercial license
av Requires FFmpeg C libraries (libavcodec, libavformat)
cairosvg Requires libcairo, libpango, libgdk-pixbuf
camelot-py Requires ghostscript + tkinter
edgartools Transitive dep pyarrow pulls in concurrent.futures.thread, which crashes Unikraft
ffmpeg-python Wrapper around ffmpeg binary
gtts Wraps Google TTS HTTP API; pure Python but depends on external service
h5py Requires libhdf5 C library
imgkit Wrapper around wkhtmltoimage binary
librosa Requires libsndfile + ffmpeg
moviepy Wrapper around ffmpeg binary
openai-whisper Requires ffmpeg + PyTorch
opencv-python Large C++ build (libopencv)
pdf2image Wrapper around pdftoppm (poppler)
pdfkit Wrapper around wkhtmltopdf binary
pedalboard Spotify audio DSP C++ library
playwright Requires full browser binaries
pyautogui Requires X11/display subsystem
pygraphviz Requires graphviz C libraries
PyMuPDF Requires MuPDF C library
pypandoc Wrapper around pandoc binary
pyperclip Requires X11 clipboard tools
pytesseract Wrapper around tesseract-ocr binary
pyttsx3 Requires OS TTS engine (espeak/SAPI)
pywin32 Windows-only (Win32 API)
pyzbar Requires libzbar C library
scapy Requires raw socket / pcap access
selenium Requires chromedriver/geckodriver binary
soundfile Requires libsndfile C library
spacy Large NLP C extensions + runtime model downloads (~100 MB+)
tabula-py Wrapper around tabula Java JAR
weasyprint Requires Pango, Cairo, GDK-pixbuf system libraries
wmi Windows-only (WMI COM interface)
py-spy Rust sampling profiler binary
