I have a node.js project, with html, js, and python files The python files need their dependencies When I want to send the site to the Netlify server, I make a npm run build That makes the build directory which contains the requirements.txt files (one line of this file is for example : websocket-client==0.57.0) Then I upload the whole build directory to Netlify server, on which I added the following environments variables NETLIFY\_BUILD\_DEBUG = true PYTHON\_VERSION = 3.8 The result is : 12:14:45 PM: Creating deploy upload records 12:14:46 PM: Starting post processing 12:14:46 PM: Post processing - HTML 12:14:46 PM: Post processing - header rules 12:14:46 PM: Post processing - redirect rules 12:14:46 PM: Post processing done 12:14:50 PM: Site is live ✨ So the requirements.txt seems skipped (may be ?) And the site has that error : Error 404 means that Python module websocket was not found at url [https://bright-dango-46b445.netlify.app/websocket.py](https://bright-dango-46b445.netlify.app/websocket.py) Note : websocket.py is not in my site files, it is a python dependency that I declared in the requirements.txt, without success Thank you for the help ---

Before we get to the solution, I’m not understanding the reason of you trying to do this. What are you planning to achieve by uploading Python dependencies to Netlify? ---

Because my Python files use those dependencies For example websocket. I have to “pip install websocket-client” on my pc console to get it in my code How can I get it in my netlify server ? (I tried to do through repuirements.txt with no success) ---

But Netlify is not supposed to run Python on the server - we only serve static files. ---

Python is supported to build sites, not to do any kind of server-side processing.
