Use functions and Python code from an external .PY file or a Juypter notebook in KNIME's Python Source node

Use functions and Python code from an external .PY file or a Juypter notebook in KNIME's Python Source node

This workflow demonstrates how modules in (external) Python scripts (.PY) and KNIME as well as Jupyter notebooks and KNIME can live and work together. As always: with KNIME as a platform you don't have to choose - you can have it all.

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
conda install -c conda-forge notebook

conda activate py3_knime
