New Feature : Improve Python connector extras documentation and optional dependency compatibility details
Author: Ablaze005Created Sep 8, 2026Updated Sep 8, 2026
Hi team,
I’m interested in contributing to Semantic Kernel and would like to work on improving the documentation around Python connector extras and optional dependency compatibility.
The current issue (#14327) highlights that some connectors require optional extras, but the documentation does not clearly explain:
- which connectors require which extras
- how optional dependencies affect functionality
- how users should install and configure these extras
- compatibility notes for different environments
I would like to take ownership of this issue and contribute a clear, structured update to the Python docs that covers:
- a table of connectors and their required/optional extras
- installation examples (pip extras, environment notes)
- compatibility notes for common setups
- guidance for users on troubleshooting missing extras
Please let me know if there are any specific expectations or preferred formats before I begin.
Thanks,
Ablaze
