Python in n8n Code nodes requires using underscore-prefixed access patterns like _input and _json for safe data handling, and you must return a list of items formatted as [{"json": {...}}].

No, the n8n Code node environment enforces a strict no-external-libraries rule, limiting Python scripts to only the built-in standard library for data transformation and webhook payload handling.

You access input data in n8n Python scripts using underscore-prefixed variables like _input and _json, enabling safe data handling across both All Items and Each Item execution modes.

Python scripts in n8n Code nodes must return a list of items structured as [{"json": {...}}], ensuring the workflow correctly receives your transformed data or webhook payload processing results.

The primary limitation of Python in n8n Code nodes is the strict restriction against external libraries, requiring you to accomplish all data transformations and webhook payload validations using only the standard library.

Use Python in n8n Code nodes for lightweight scripting, data validation, or webhook payload parsing when you prefer Python's standard library and can operate within its no-external-libraries restriction.
