Hey All! Very new (and excited) user of kedro here! Hopefully i can help with some of the questions myself, in the future. Could you perhaps suggest the best location to add a library of functions i have, in order to use it for my project?

welcome @George p! what about

Copy code

├── src
│   └── tmp_spaceflights
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── __main__.py
│       ├── lib              # <--- Here!
│       │   └── __init__.py

Thanks! And what would be the best way to import it in a test notebook (with a loaded catalog) ?

Sorry, i meant "import"

Copy code

from tmp_spaceflights.lib import my_function

but for that to work you'd need to first do

pip install -e .

Unfortunately that is not clear at all. Do you have any relevant documentation? I tried the pip install command and it created an UNKNOWN.egg-info file, and then my notebook doesnt recognise the (equivalent for me)

lib

module

In general, i struggle to find any documentation on how to place/use/import custom libraries with kedro

hi @George p, good point - projects created with Kedro<0.19 have 2 metadata files. you will probably need

pip install -e ./src

instead (otherwise you get the

UNKNOWN.egg-info

file you mention). please try it out
