Adding Packages from PYPI to Pico board

[Netexcavator]

I realized when working with the extension that there is no way to import the library from something like PYPI like you can with Thonny. I did see on the MicroPico extension that there was a way to add MIP packages but none of the current MIP packages would work for what I am working on. Is there a way to do it currently or will it be added in the future?

Currently you can do it manually by downloading the python files from the package you want and uploading them to the device, usually to the path /lib/<packageName>/__init__.py

Note that many libraries on PyPi will not work with MicroPython, as they require modules that MicroPython does not have (eg numpy, atexit)

Closing as not planned, as PyPi packages are not guaranteed to work, and you can download them manually if you want to try them
