Does it is possible to use external python libraries with sololearn?

I know how to install a library with python. My question is specific to sololearn.

A few months ago numpy was added. I am keeping my fingers crossed for beautifulsoup to do some webscraping/webparsing lessons :)

I'm just thinking that due to Sololearn mechanics, it might be too resource-consuming to run any decent machine learning algorithms this way. So probably a lot of "Time limit exceeded" would be happening ;)

No, you can't. Access to the virtual machine's files is denied plus you have around 5 seconds of its work before the application terminates the connection and outputs "Time limit exceded".

Walter Perdan While it's completely possible to implement it's not very likely. I wouldn't recommend using Code Playground because of it's limitations. Use a dedicated IDE like Atom, Brackets, PyCharm, etc.

Ben Allen (Njinx) thank you, i usually use Atom IDE and i'm fine with it. Kuba Siekierzyński i saw that, very nice Indeed! numpy is super and a must ! would be nice to extend to other basic libraries?

Kuba Siekierzyński I agree. People use SoloLearn's Code Playground as an IDE. The Playground is a way to share code snippets, not write full programs.

Kuba Siekierzyński AliR૯za thank you, but in your opinion will be possibile in the future or this goes out of the sololearn scope? or there are technical limits?

will be nice some other lib installed as numpy... like scipy or PIL for example, i think will be more interesting to use python inside sololearn....
