Add Python Libraries to GEE Python

GEE uses system Python with some extra libraries to support functionality such as publishing and custom search plug-ins.

Additional modules specific to GEE are installed in:

/opt/google/gepython/Python-2.7.x/lib/python2.7/site-packages (where x is determined by the system Python version.

• psycopg2 is a PostgreSQL database adapter
• google/protobuf is Google's serialisation mechanism for structured data.
• mgrs provides conversion to and from MGRS
• GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) Python library

Add a Python library

You can add a Python library to either the system Python path, or to the /opt/google/gepython/Python-2.7.x path for it to be enabled with GEE. One of the easiest ways to install a Python library is to use the Python package tool, pip. You may also need to consider any other dependencies for your newly installed library.
