python libraries

Using the con kit, you can add files to an app (a python derivated app in this case).
Then you can use the files using import fileName

Of course, only pure python files will be supported. Modules that rely on a native library will not work as there is no native support in Prime.

If your aim is to do math, I would suggest that you use the build in calculator features, which are very well designed and work well together and work well with the calculator UI and keyboard.

Are they python libraries that would be beneficial to add to prime that I could add?

Numpy, Pandas, Scipi and Patsy would be my request but as Bernard mentions, some may lack compatibility due to the version of MicroPython that's currently being utilised on the Prime. On reflection, I also like Bernards idea of utilising his Casio customisation of MatPlotLib with HP draw calls as it would provide greater flexibility.

Plotly is my favourite math/sci/stats oriented graphics package but I'm not sure whether there's much within it that can be converted for calculator use cases.

I'm making an assumption that any math functions that are pure python will be more performant than math functions that involve roundtrips via PPL/CAS (this seemed to be evidenced by the TI Planet post).
