Hi,

 

 

TestComplete has its own Python interpreter and you do not need to install another one, especially you should not install new  interpreter into the TestComplete directory, because it can override important dependencies and cause conflicts.

But to install third party Python libs we need full Python with pip, or we're not?

    You can download any required package manually and then install it using setup.py script.

    Also you can install pip itself to work with your TestComplete Python installation. 

     

    Spoiler
    NB! For the some reason SmartBear does not include pip installer by default. So you will do it on your own risk.
