I've noticed in

pyproject.toml

there is an entry

example_pipeline

which can be True or False. It looks like it is populated by me running

kedro new

and answering yes or no to including an example. I'm confused why this is then written into

pyproject.toml

. Does

example_pipeline

do anything? What happens if I leave the example and change it to False?

Hi @Marshall Krassenstein, As per my understanding when you do

kedro new --name=spaceflights --tools=viz --example=y

it adds a table [tool.kedro] with

example_pipeline

as True. This will help others in the team to use the toml file for tool (kedro) configuration. More about tool configuration here . Example pipeline is for you to get started. Thank you

I get that but

tools.kedro

will exist regardless of if you use the sample pipeline or not. it just has one case where

example_pipeline="True"

and the other where it is false. I'm asking if kedro uses the value of

example_pipeline

anywhere in the project after it is created. It seems like it does not

okay, yes I guess it is for initial creation and configuring the tool. I also think it will not be used in the project other than for metadata. @Ankita Katiyar do you think we use the info anywhere else after project creation ? Thank you

Hey, this was done for collecting telemetry on the new tools and example pipeline options because kedro-telemetry does not currently track the “kedro new” command. It doesn’t really affect anything on your project.
