About n8n-code-python
The n8n-code-python skill enables users to write Python code specifically within n8n Code nodes, providing a structured approach to executing Python scripts in an automation platform. This skill is primarily designed to solve the challenges users face when they require Python's standard library functionality or when they feel more comfortable with Python syntax as compared to JavaScript, which is the default language for n8n workflows. By integrating Python into n8n, users can leverage its capabilities for data transformations and handling specific tasks that are better suited to Python's strengths.
FAQ
When should I use Python instead of JavaScript in n8n?
Use Python when you need specific standard library functions, are more comfortable with Python syntax, or are performing data transformations better suited to Python.
What are the limitations of using Python in n8n Code nodes?
Python in n8n has limitations such as no support for external libraries, and it must return data in a specific format. Only the standard library modules such as json, datetime, and math are available.
Can I use third-party Python libraries in n8n?
No, n8n Code nodes do not support external libraries; only the standard Python library can be used.
What are the two modes available for Python execution in n8n?
The two modes are Python (Beta) which allows for the use of helper syntax and Python (Native) which uses only standard Python without n8n helpers.
How should I structure the return value in a Python Code node?
The return value must be structured as an array of objects in the format [{"json": {...}}].
