RCC’s Python packages include a large number of sub-packages that are compiled and tuned for Midway. A list

of all packages and their versions can be found by loading the module and running the command pip freeze.

Since these packages are always under development, and are released on a variety of schedules, RCC provides a new Python module quarterly, including the most up-to-date versions of each package at that time. If you have specific version requirements that are not supplied by any of the RCC modules, please contact us for help.
