If your packages have no operating system specific binaries in them, then I suggest to bundle them into your plugin and use an appropriate import path relative to your code. Note there is a limit on how big your plugin can be (I think it is 10mb) so you need to ensure your 3rd party deps do not bulk out your plugin too much.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Tim</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div style="font-size:13px" class=""><br class=""></div><span style="font-size:13px" class=""> Thank you for your time! </span><br style="font-size:13px" class=""><br style="font-size:13px" class=""><span style="font-size:13px" class=""> Kind regards.</span><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="font-size:13px" class=""><br class=""></span></div>-- <br class=""><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class="">Pablo Fernández Moniz<br class=""></div>GIT Analyst<br class=""><br class=""></div><a href="http://www.pablofm.com/" target="_blank" class="">Web</a> <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/pablofernandezmoniz/" target="_blank" class="">Linkedin</a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/monizpablo" target="_blank" class="">Twitter</a><br class=""></div></div>
