This caused conflicts whenever two extensions required to different versions of the same library. In EF2 each extension runs in its own virtual environment, so each extension has full control over what to import.</P> Wed, 11 Sep 2024 21:52:41 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Extensions/Basic-python-dependencies-that-are-not-included-in-EF2/m-p/255532#M5126 Mike_L 2024-09-11T21:52:41Z
