The idea is:
The python code node is great as it allows for more complex tasks to be completed that really don’t require the flexibility of having many chained nodes. Unfortunately python seems quite constrained at the moment, I assume primarily due to sandboxing or security concerns. It would be highly useful if for my own single-tenant instance I can unlock it more completely.
My use case:
I need to do some complicated work around making a lot of API requests, with data I need to transform and supply to each. Having to construct this out of many nodes is going to be a serious pain and a waste of time with no upside. I would like to be able to just write the py code to do it.
I am aware that I could write the code and provide it as an external via the command node, but this forces me to separate the solution and I lose the debugging experience n8n provides.
