Retool Workflows, now with Python support

Retool has introduced Python support in its Workflows, allowing users to integrate Python code blocks into their automation processes to enhance data ingestion, analysis, and visualization capabilities. This update includes preinstalled development tools like autocomplete, linting, and over 20 libraries such as numpy and pandas, facilitating a more seamless experience for developers accustomed to using these tools in integrated development environments or notebooks. Users can now choose between JavaScript and Python for code blocks, enabling them to select the best tool for specific tasks within their automation projects. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in tasks like data transformation and reporting, where Python's rich library ecosystem proves advantageous over JavaScript or SQL. The platform also supports creating portable APIs and visualizations using Python-based plotting libraries, enhancing collaboration between data analysts, operations teams, and engineers. Python code blocks are currently available for cloud customers and will soon be available on-premises.
