Python Workers are in beta. Packages do not run in production.

Currently, you can only deploy Python Workers that use the standard library. [Packages](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/packages/#supported-packages) **cannot be deployed** and will only work in local development for the time being.

To import a Python package, add the package name to the `requirements.txt` file within the same directory as your [Wrangler configuration file](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/).

For example, if your Worker depends on [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/), you would add the following:

```plaintext
fastapi
```

## Package versioning

In the example above, you likely noticed that there is no explicit version of the Python package declared in `requirements.txt`.

In Workers, Python package versions are set via [Compatibility Dates](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/compatibility-dates/) and [Compatibility Flags](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/compatibility-flags/). Given a particular compatibility date, a specific version of the [Pyodide Python runtime](https://pyodide.org/en/stable/project/changelog.html) is provided to your Worker, providing a specific set of Python packages pinned to specific versions.

As new versions of Pyodide and additional Python packages become available in Workers, we will publish compatibility flags and their associated compatibility dates here on this page.

## HTTP Client Libraries

Only HTTP libraries that are able to make requests asynchronously are supported. Currently, these include [`aiohttp`](https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/index.html) and [`httpx`](https://www.python-httpx.org/). You can also use the [`fetch()` API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/fetch/) from JavaScript, using Python Workers' [foreign function interface](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/ffi) to make HTTP requests.
