Hi,

I have a python3 function node that needs to import python library like pytorch, I tried but seems cannot import library just like other python compilers. Any idea?

Perhaps you can try to use the [suggestion described in the open issues for that node](https://github.com/arnauorriols/node-red-contrib-python-function/issues/3).  
You may be better off running your python code via an exec node instead.
