Hi @lassoan,

I meant this method from @patrickcox3 worked:

> [@Pip in nightly build not working](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/pip-in-nightly-build-not-working/3325/6):
>
> pip.main can be found in pip.\_internal I was able to utilize it in my project as shown: from pip.\_internal import main as pipmain pipmain(['install', 'scipy']) However, using pip within your program [is strongly discouraged](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#using-pip-from-your-program). An alternative method, such as spoken to in this thread, would be extremely helpful.

Scipy installed successfully as far as I can tell. It didn’t work with Rpy2. I will try your suggestion in the other thread.
