flytekit.wait_for_input

flytekit.wait_for_input(name, timeout, expected_type)

Create a Gate object that waits for user input of the specified type.

Create a Gate object. This object will function like a task. Note that unlike a task, each time this function is called, a new Python object is created. If a workflow calls a subworkflow twice, and the subworkflow has a signal, then two Gate objects are created. This shouldn’t be a problem as long as the objects are identical.

Parameters:

• name (str) – The name of the gate node.

• timeout (timedelta) – How long to wait for before Flyte fails the workflow.

• expected_type (Type) – What is the type that the user will be inputting?

Returns:
