Heh, my bad, the term "user" is very much ingrained in our internal way of working. You can think of it as basically any technically-inclined person in your team or company.

Indeed the options in the WebUI are too limited for our use case, so we're developed "apps" that take a yaml configuration file and build a matching pipeline.
With that, our users do not need to code directly, and we can offer much more fine control over the pipeline.

As for the imports, what I meant is that I encountered an issue with pigar (I think that's the name of the package) - a package that ClearML uses to infer the requirements for each component automagically.
In our case, we have a monorepo with a common namespace for all the modules. Pigar fails to properly identify those, so our Pipeline Generator© captures the packages available at runtime and forces all components to have the same requirements.
This results in a bit slower startup time, of course.
