What is the rationale for

node

not being imported by default in a new

pipeline.py

file? E.g.

from kedro.pipeline import Pipeline, pipeline


def create_pipeline(**kwargs) -> Pipeline:
    return pipeline([])

instead of

from kedro.pipeline import Pipeline, node, pipeline


def create_pipeline(**kwargs) -> Pipeline:
    return pipeline([])

It isn't a big deal for me. Just wondering if I am using Kedro in an unintended way.

Just guessing, but If you import something but don't use it, it could potentially break linter checkers (ci checks). At the end this is .py file https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/blob/main/kedro/templates/pipeline/%7B%7B%20cookiecutter.pipeline_name%20%7D%7D/pipeline.py

@Erwin Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!

we discussed that last week, feel free to chime in! there are several ways to fix this https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/3557
