Appdaemon downloads mysql-connector every reboot

Third party integrations AppDaemon

In one of my first tries with Appdaemon I started to use the mysql-connector. Then I realized that I didn’t need it and removed the app using mysql directly.
My problem is that Appdaemon downloads and installs mysql-connector every restart:

Is there a way make Appdaemon stop downloading mysql-connector?

Remove it from the requirements.txt file in the appdaemon root directory.

Well, I have no requirements.txt in the appdaemon root directory:

If you are running appdaemon as an addon to a HA , I think there is an entry named python_packages in the addon config that you need to edit.

Im running HA core in docker and then appdaemon in a separate docker container and I think the way to include packages is different if appdaemon is not running as an addon to a supervised HA install.

Yes, I run it as an addon to HA. Now I saw it in the config and removed it.
It must be me who added it in the config so I can’t blame anyone else.
Thanks for helping me!!!

I too run it as an add-on and the packages are needed to run, but is there a way to have appdaemon re-use the ones it’d already downloaded? I understand the need for updates, but to download from scratch on every restart??

Is there a cache setting somewhere?
