Python node and help
--------------------

This example demonstrates how to create workflow components and configure them.

It uses the ``python_node.py`` file to create a Python2 node.
and perform these tasks:

- Adds some source code.
- Adds and removes parameters and responses.
- Adds internal variables.

It then uses the ``python_help.py`` file to print which nodes are
available in the Python console. Lastly, it explains
how you can optionally save the project to a desired location.
