Plugin development using external library

Question

Hi, I'm trying to develop an AE plugin which has dependancy on external library.

The external library I'm try to use is pytorch, deep learning framework.

Pytorch is basically based on python, but they provides C++ API (https://pytorch.org/cppdocs/).

Is it possible to develop an AE plugin using this external library?

Or is there any restrictions for using external library from AE plugin?

Thank you in advance.

there are no restrictions. but you should take a couple of things in mind:

1. cross plaform.
a lot of users need to port their projects between machines, and sometimes between windows and mac. it would be a caveat if your plug-in supports only one platform or os version.

2. deployment.
most users aren't tech savvy (to say the least...). so make sure the instsallation of your plug-in is dead simple, and doesn't require separate installation of different elements.
