Workaround for executing Python code with external packages when sandbox fails
Use this pattern when execute_code_sandbox fails with Python code that requires external packages (like openpyxl, python-docx, pandas, etc.) that may not be available in the sandbox environment.
Instead of relying solely on execute_code_sandbox, use run_shell with inline Python commands as a fallback:
python3 -c "your python code here"
Watch for errors like:
Transform your Python script into a one-liner or use a heredoc for longer scripts:
For simple code:
python3 -c "import openpyxl; wb = openpyxl.Workbook(); wb.save('file.xlsx')"
For complex code (using heredoc):
python3 << 'EOF'
import openpyxl
from openpyxl.utils import get_column_letter
wb = openpyxl.Workbook()
ws = wb.active
ws['A1'] = 'Header'
wb.save('output.xlsx')
print('File created successfully')
EOF
Use run_shell to execute the command:
