Hello @Mannshoch, you should read on the “virtual environment” topics on python. For example: Python Virtual Environments: A Primer – Real Python
In short you need to create a sandboxed environment where you will be able to download / install libraries (in your case pysmb.
Currently there is a bug on omnia which prevents you to do the virtualenv the “easy way”, I found a solution here: Python3 venv failed - #3 by sandor.balazsi

When you work on your script you always need to do the “source venv/bin/activate” (venv == your name of virtual environment).
To turn off virtual environment just type “deactivate”
