Installing new libraries

How to install a new library like fuzzy-wuzzy to work within refinery?

Hi @LakshmiPanguluri, sorry for the delayed response. We're currently preparing another open-source library with tons of heuristics that you can copy paste, which will include the fuzzywuzzy library (here's a sneak peak: https://bricks.kern.ai/home). Meaning in ca two weeks, fuzzywuzzy will be in refinery anyways.

Pinging @FelixKirsch: Is there an easy approach such that developers like LakshmiPanguluri can install their own libraries without having to build the services from scratch?

No, the best approach to installing your own libraries is to build the execution environments yourself with the added requirements. If that's interesting, I can write down a short tutorial on how to do that.
