flytekit.extend.PythonTask¶

class flytekit.extend.PythonTask(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Base Class for all Tasks with a Python native Interface. This should be directly used for task types, that do not have a python function to be executed. Otherwise refer to flytekit.PythonFunctionTask.

Parameters

task_type (str) – defines a unique task-type for every new extension. If a backend plugin is required then this has to be done in-concert with the backend plugin identifier
name (str) – A unique name for the task instantiation. This is unique for every instance of task.
task_config (T) – Configuration for the task. This is used to configure the specific plugin that handles this task
interface (Optional[Interface]) – A python native typed interface (inputs) -> outputs that declares the signature of the task
environment (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Any environment variables that should be supplied during the execution of the task. Supplied as a dictionary of key/value pairs
disable_deck (bool) – If true, this task will not output deck html file

__init__(task_type, name, task_config, interface=None, environment=None, disable_deck=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Parameters

task_type (str) – defines a unique task-type for every new extension. If a backend plugin is required then this has to be done in-concert with the backend plugin identifier
name (str) – A unique name for the task instantiation. This is unique for every instance of task.
task_config (T) – Configuration for the task. This is used to configure the specific plugin that handles this task
interface (Optional[Interface]) – A python native typed interface (inputs) -> outputs that declares the signature of the task
environment (Optional[Dict[str, str]]) – Any environment variables that should be supplied during the execution of the task. Supplied as a dictionary of key/value pairs
disable_deck (bool) – If true, this task will not output deck html file

Methods

`__init__`(task_type, name, task_config[, ...])	param task_type defines a unique task-type for every new extension. If a backend plugin is required then
`compile`(ctx, args, *kwargs)	Generates a node that encapsulates this task in a workflow definition.
`construct_node_metadata`()	Used when constructing the node that encapsulates this task as part of a broader workflow definition.
`dispatch_execute`(ctx, input_literal_map)	This method translates Flyte's Type system based input values and invokes the actual call to the executor This method is also invoked during runtime.
`execute`(**kwargs)	This method will be invoked to execute the task.
`find_lhs`()
`get_config`(settings)	Returns the task config as a serializable dictionary.
`get_container`(settings)	Returns the container definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.
`get_custom`(settings)	Return additional plugin-specific custom data (if any) as a serializable dictionary.
`get_input_types`()	Returns the names and python types as a dictionary for the inputs of this task.
`get_k8s_pod`(settings)	Returns the kubernetes pod definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.
`get_sql`(settings)	Returns the Sql definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.
`get_type_for_input_var`(k, v)	Returns the python type for an input variable by name.
`get_type_for_output_var`(k, v)	Returns the python type for the specified output variable by name.
`local_execute`(ctx, **kwargs)	This function is used only in the local execution path and is responsible for calling dispatch execute.
`post_execute`(user_params, rval)	Post execute is called after the execution has completed, with the user_params and can be used to clean-up, or alter the outputs to match the intended tasks outputs.
`pre_execute`(user_params)	This is the method that will be invoked directly before executing the task method and before all the inputs are converted.

Attributes

`disable_deck`	If true, this task will not output deck html file
`environment`	Any environment variables that supplied during the execution of the task.
`instantiated_in`
`interface`
`lhs`
`location`
`metadata`
`name`
`python_interface`	Returns this task's python interface.
`security_context`
`task_config`	Returns the user-specified task config which is used for plugin-specific handling of the task.
`task_type`
`task_type_version`
