I checked out this example: [https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-framework-remotestorageexample/blob/v1.0.0/examples/example\_local\_provider.py](https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-framework-remotestorageexample/blob/v1.0.0/examples/example_local_provider.py) Let’s say I want to write an integration with Dropbox. Can I use third party modules in my Python script like the Python dropbox sdk? Where do you usually keep your third party libraries in your configuration setup? Maybe there is a good documentation about this? Thanks in adv…
