Using my own python package in different greengrass components

Hello and thank you for your interest in Greengrass,
Since you used the word "component" I'm assuming that you are using Greengrass V2, please let me know if that is not the case.

When you say that you want to use your own Python package I take this to mean that you have a directory containing a Python module or modules which you want to import to your main script which Greengrass executes. To do this, I can recommend that you ZIP up your dependencies, which I will call dependencies.zip. You will then upload this file to S3 and add it as an artifact of your Greengrass component's recipe. Additionally specify "Unarchive: ZIP" option for this artifact, this way Greengrass will unzip the file on the device.

Now on the device we have a directory full of the modules that you want to use, so we need to tell Python where to find them. We do this using PYTHONPATH. Update the lifecycle run or startup script to be:

PYTHONPATH={artifacts:decompressedPath}/dependencies python3 -u <your script
>```

Note that we are setting the PYTHONPATH to be {artifacts:decompressedPath}/dependencies. The /dependencies is added because the name of the zip file was "dependencies.zip" and we will unzip it into a directory with the same name as the filename without the extension.  
  
  
Hope this helps.  
Cheers,  
Michael

Thank you, for answer.
You are right, I'm using Greengrass V2 and you understood my question correct.
What you recommended didn't quite work for me.
I have few components, for example: A and B. All of them need some python library, let it be 'dependencies'.
If I use PYTHONPATH like this:
PYTHONPATH={artifacts:decompressedPath}/dependencies
the PYTHONPATH available only for component, where it defined. So I need to attach the same dependencies to each components.
And when I updated dependencies, I need to update every components.
But is there any better way, when I updated dependencies all components get newest version of it without redeployment.

As an idea I can make a component 'dependencies' which will be used like a library, but how can I provide the path to the latest version of dependencies component to all components when dependencies was updated?
Thanks for any advices.

Thank you very much. This is what I wanted. Everything works fine.
