Cloud Composer grpcio Python package

Question

I want to update the grpcio package in my Cloud Composer environment from 1.23.0 to 1.29.0. How to do that?

Do I need to add it in PyPI packages in the Composer console?

Answer 1

See "Installing a Python dependency from PyPI" here: https://cloud.google.com/composer/docs/how-to/using/installing-python-dependencies

Answer 2

If your environment requires a specific package, it is recommended that you explicitly install the package to avoid issues due to package changes across Cloud Composer image versions. Do not rely on the pre-installed packages in the Cloud Composer version that is running in your environment. 1 2
