In theory, running something like this from the Macro Panel should work:
import pip
from pathlib import Path
install_dir = Path.home() / "Library" / "Application Support" / "Glyphs 3" / "Scripts"
args = ["install", "-t", install_dir, "-U", "numpy"]
pip.main(args)
But it doesn’t, because pip doesn’t like to be called from inside a script:
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
