Pretty much as the title says.
Is there some way we can request additional packages? Does this need to go through Microsoft or through Anaconda?
I would love to see data assets for nltk included.
But also simpler things like pycountry.
Yes! We have the packages topic where you can request new packages. I’ll start a pinned thread there for the future. In the meantime, I can add pycountry to the list of requested packages.
For NLTK, I can say that we’re working with Microsoft on a solution. Since the container that runs Python has no network access, all resources need to be preinstalled which has impact on spin-up time. When we get that figured out, we’ll let you know.
