Python libraries introduction

You can install third-party python libraries in Blender by entering the following command in the Blender Python Console window. For example, to install RDKit:

import sys

import subprocess

python_exe = sys.executable

subprocess.call([python_exe, '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'rdkit'])

or you can download RDKit package from Tsinghua pypi, and then unzip it to the 'site-packages' folder of your Blender installation path. Confirm that the downloaded version mathces your software.

rdkit-2025.3.1-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl might be a suitable choice for Blender 4.2-4.5 (Windows system).
