Python Job

This feature allows users to write their own Python script and run their script in the Jobs section of Data Pipeline module.

Before creating the Python Job, the user has to create a project in the DS Lab module under Python Environment. Please refer the below image for reference:

After creating the project, the user needs to activate it and create a Notebook where they can write their own Python script. Once the script is written, the user must save it and export it to be able to use it in Python Jobs.
