flytekit.core.python_function_task.AsyncPythonFunctionTask

This is the base task for eager tasks, as well as normal async tasks Really only need to override the call function.

class AsyncPythonFunctionTask(
    task_config: T,
    task_function: Callable,
    task_type,
    ignore_input_vars: Optional[List[str]],
    execution_mode: ExecutionBehavior,
    task_resolver: Optional[TaskResolverMixin],
    node_dependency_hints: Optional[Iterable[Union['PythonFunctionTask', '_annotated_launch_plan.LaunchPlan', WorkflowBase]]],
    pickle_untyped: bool,
    kwargs,
)

Methods

async_execute()

def async_execute(
    args,
    kwargs,
) -> Any

Overrides the base execute function. This function does not handle dynamic at all. Eager and dynamic don’t mix.

compile()

def compile(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    args,
    kwargs,
) -> typing.Union[typing.Tuple[flytekit.core.promise.Promise], flytekit.core.promise.Promise, flytekit.core.promise.VoidPromise, NoneType]

Generates a node that encapsulates this task in a workflow definition.

compile_into_workflow()

def compile_into_workflow(
    ctx: FlyteContext,
    task_function: Callable,
    kwargs,
) -> Union[_dynamic_job.DynamicJobSpec, _literal_models.LiteralMap]

In the case of dynamic workflows, this function will produce a workflow definition at execution time which will then proceed to be executed.

construct_node_metadata()

def construct_node_metadata()

Used when constructing the node that encapsulates this task as part of a broader workflow definition.

dispatch_execute()

def dispatch_execute(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    input_literal_map: flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap,
) -> typing.Union[flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap, flytekit.models.dynamic_job.DynamicJobSpec, typing.Coroutine]

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.

• VoidPromise is returned in the case when the task itself declares no outputs.
• Literal Map is returned when the task returns either one more outputs in the declaration. Individual outputs may be none
• DynamicJobSpec is returned when a dynamic workflow is executed

dynamic_execute()

def dynamic_execute(
    task_function: Callable,
    kwargs,
) -> Any

By the time this function is invoked, the local_execute function should have unwrapped the Promises and Flyte literal wrappers so that the kwargs we are working with here are now Python native literal values. This function is also expected to return Python native literal values.

Since the user code within a dynamic task constitute a workflow, we have to first compile the workflow, and then execute that workflow.

When running for real in production, the task would stop after the compilation step, and then create a file representing that newly generated workflow, instead of executing it.

execute()

def execute(
    args,
    kwargs,
) -> Any

Overrides the base execute function. This function does not handle dynamic at all. Eager and dynamic don’t mix.

find_lhs()

def find_lhs()

def get_command(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
) -> List[str]

get_config()

def get_config(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
) -> Optional[Dict[str, str]]

get_container()

def get_container(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
) -> _task_model.Container

    settings: flytekit.configuration.SerializationSettings,
) -> typing.Optional[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]]

Return additional plugin-specific custom data (if any) as a serializable dictionary.

get_default_command()

def get_extended_resources(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
) -> Optional[tasks_pb2.ExtendedResources]

Returns the extended resources to allocate to the task on hosted Flyte.

) -> typing.Type[typing.Any]

Returns the python type for an input variable by name.

get_type_for_output_var()

def get_type_for_output_var(
    k: str,
    v: typing.Any,
) -> typing.Type[typing.Any]

Returns the python type for the specified output variable by name.

local_execute()

def local_execute(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    kwargs,
) -> typing.Union[typing.Tuple[flytekit.core.promise.Promise], flytekit.core.promise.Promise, flytekit.core.promise.VoidPromise, typing.Coroutine, NoneType]

This function is used only in the local execution path and is responsible for calling dispatch execute. Use this function when calling a task with native values (or Promises containing Flyte literals derived from Python native values).

local_execution_mode()

def local_execution_mode()

post_execute()

def post_execute(
    user_params: typing.Optional[flytekit.core.context_manager.ExecutionParameters],
    rval: typing.Any,
) -> typing.Any

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. If not overridden, then this function is a No-op

pre_execute()

def pre_execute(
    user_params: typing.Optional[flytekit.core.context_manager.ExecutionParameters],
) -> typing.Optional[flytekit.core.context_manager.ExecutionParameters]

This is the method that will be invoked directly before executing the task method and before all the inputs are converted. One particular case where this is useful is if the context is to be modified for the user process to get some user space parameters. This also ensures that things like SparkSession are already correctly setup before the type transformers are called

This should return either the same context of the mutated context

reset_command_fn()

def reset_command_fn()

Resets the command which should be used in the container definition of this task to the default arguments. This is useful when the command line is overridden at serialization time.

sandbox_execute()

def sandbox_execute(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    input_literal_map: flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap,
) -> flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap

Call dispatch_execute, in the context of a local sandbox execution. Not invoked during runtime.

set_command_fn()

def set_command_fn(
    get_command_fn: Optional[Callable[[SerializationSettings], List[str]]],
)

By default, the task will run on the Flyte platform using the pyflyte-execute command. However, it can be useful to update the command with which the task is serialized for specific cases like running map tasks (“pyflyte-map-execute”) or for fast-executed tasks.

set_resolver()

def set_resolver(
    resolver: TaskResolverMixin,
)

By default, flytekit uses the DefaultTaskResolver to resolve the task. This method allows the user to set a custom task resolver. It can be useful to override the task resolver for specific cases like running tasks in the jupyter notebook.

Properties

flytekit.core.python_function_task.EagerAsyncPythonFunctionTask

This is the base eager task (aka eager workflow) type. It replaces the previous experiment eager task type circa Q4 2024. Users unfamiliar with this concept should refer to the documentation for more information. But basically, Python becomes propeller, and every task invocation, creates a stack frame on the Flyte cluster in the form of an execution rather than on the actual memory stack.

class EagerAsyncPythonFunctionTask(
    task_config: T,
    task_function: Callable,
    task_type,
    ignore_input_vars: Optional[List[str]],
    task_resolver: Optional[TaskResolverMixin],
    node_dependency_hints: Optional[Iterable[Union['PythonFunctionTask', '_annotated_launch_plan.LaunchPlan', WorkflowBase]]],
    enable_deck: bool,
    kwargs,
)

async_execute()

def async_execute(
    args,
    kwargs,
) -> Any

Overrides the base execute function. This function does not handle dynamic at all. Eager and dynamic don’t mix.

Some notes on the different call scenarios since it’s a little different than other tasks. a) starting local execution - eager_task() -> last condition of call handler, -> set execution mode and self.local_execute() -> self.execute(native_vals) -> 1) -> task function() or 2) -> self.run_with_backend() # fn name will be changed. b) inside an eager task local execution - calling normal_task() -> call handler detects in eager local execution (middle part of call handler) -> call normal_task’s local_execute() c) inside an eager task local execution - calling async_normal_task() -> produces a coro, which when awaited/run -> call handler detects in eager local execution (middle part of call handler) -> call async_normal_task’s local_execute() -> call AsyncPythonFunctionTask’s async_execute(), which awaits the task function d) inside an eager task local execution - calling another_eager_task() -> produces a coro, which when awaited/run -> call handler detects in eager local execution (middle part of call handler) -> call another_eager_task’s local_execute() -> results are returned instead of being passed to create_native_named_tuple d) eager_task, starting backend execution from entrypoint.py -> eager_task.dispatch_execute(literals) -> eager_task.execute(native values) -> awaits eager_task.run_with_backend() # fn name will be changed e) in an eager task during backend execution, calling any flyte_entity() -> add the entity to the worker queue and await the result.

Properties

flytekit.core.python_function_task.EagerFailureHandlerTask

A Python AutoContainer task should be used as the base for all extensions that want the user’s code to be in the container and the container information to be automatically captured. This base will auto configure the image and image version to be used for all its derivatives.

If you are looking to extend, you might prefer to use PythonFunctionTask or PythonInstanceTask

Properties

flytekit.core.python_function_task.EagerFailureTaskResolver

Flytekit tasks interact with the Flyte platform very, very broadly in two steps. They need to be uploaded to Admin, and then they are run by the user upon request (either as a single task execution or as part of a workflow). In any case, at execution time, for most tasks (that is those that generate a container target) the container image containing the task needs to be spun up again at which point the container needs to know which task it’s supposed to run and how to rehydrate the task object.

For example, the serialization of a simple task ::

# in repo_root/workflows/example.py
@task
def t1(...) -> ...: ...

might result in a container with arguments like ::

pyflyte-execute --inputs s3://path/inputs.pb --output-prefix s3://outputs/location         --raw-output-data-prefix /tmp/data         --resolver flytekit.core.python_auto_container.default_task_resolver         --         task-module repo_root.workflows.example task-name t1

At serialization time, the container created for the task will start out automatically with the pyflyte-execute bit, along with the requisite input/output args and the offloaded data prefix. Appended to that will be two things,

#. the location of the task’s task resolver, followed by two dashes, followed by #. the arguments provided by calling the loader_args function below.

The default_task_resolver declared below knows that

• When loader_args is called on a task, to look up the module the task is in, and the name of the task (the key of the task in the module, either the function name, or the variable it was assigned to).
• When load_task is called, it interprets the first part of the command as the module to call importlib.import_module on, and then looks for a key t1.

This is just the default behavior. Users should feel free to implement their own resolvers.

Methods

get_all_tasks()

def get_all_tasks()

Future proof method. Just making it easy to access all tasks (Not required today as we auto register them)

load_task()

def load_task(
    loader_args: List[str],
) -> Task

Given the set of identifier keys, should return one Python Task or raise an error if not found

loader_args()

def loader_args(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
    t: Task,
) -> List[str]

Return a list of strings that can help identify the parameter Task

name()

def name()

task_name()

def task_name(
    t: flytekit.core.base_task.Task,
) -> typing.Optional[str]

Overridable function that can optionally return a custom name for a given task

Properties

flytekit.core.python_function_task.PythonFunctionTask

A Python Function task should be used as the base for all extensions that have a python function. It will automatically detect interface of the python function and when serialized on the hosted Flyte platform handles the writing execution command to execute the function

It is advised this task is used using the @task decorator as follows

@task
def my_func(a: int) -> str:
    ...

In the above code, the name of the function, the module, and the interface (inputs = int and outputs = str) will be auto detected.

    args,
    kwargs,
) -> typing.Union[typing.Tuple[flytekit.core.promise.Promise], flytekit.core.promise.Promise, flytekit.core.promise.VoidPromise, NoneType]

Generates a node that encapsulates this task in a workflow definition.

compile_into_workflow()

def compile_into_workflow(
    ctx: FlyteContext,
    task_function: Callable,
    kwargs,
) -> Union[_dynamic_job.DynamicJobSpec, _literal_models.LiteralMap]

In the case of dynamic workflows, this function will produce a workflow definition at execution time which will then proceed to be executed.

construct_node_metadata()

def construct_node_metadata()

Used when constructing the node that encapsulates this task as part of a broader workflow definition.

dispatch_execute()

def dispatch_execute(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    input_literal_map: flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap,
) -> typing.Union[flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap, flytekit.models.dynamic_job.DynamicJobSpec, typing.Coroutine]

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.

• VoidPromise is returned in the case when the task itself declares no outputs.
• Literal Map is returned when the task returns either one more outputs in the declaration. Individual outputs may be none
• DynamicJobSpec is returned when a dynamic workflow is executed

dynamic_execute()

def dynamic_execute(
    task_function: Callable,
    kwargs,
) -> Any

By the time this function is invoked, the local_execute function should have unwrapped the Promises and Flyte literal wrappers so that the kwargs we are working with here are now Python native literal values. This function is also expected to return Python native literal values.

Since the user code within a dynamic task constitute a workflow, we have to first compile the workflow, and then execute that workflow.

When running for real in production, the task would stop after the compilation step, and then create a file representing that newly generated workflow, instead of executing it.

execute()

def execute(
    kwargs,
) -> Any

This method will be invoked to execute the task. If you do decide to override this method you must also handle dynamic tasks or you will no longer be able to use the task as a dynamic task generator.

get_config()

def get_config(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
) -> Optional[Dict[str, str]]

Returns the task config as a serializable dictionary. This task config consists of metadata about the custom defined for this task.

get_container()

def get_container(
    settings: SerializationSettings,
) -> _task_model.Container

Returns the container definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.

def get_custom(
    settings: flytekit.configuration.SerializationSettings,
) -> typing.Optional[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]]

get_sql()

def get_sql(
    settings: flytekit.configuration.SerializationSettings,
) -> typing.Optional[flytekit.models.task.Sql]

Returns the Sql definition (if any) that is used to run the task on hosted Flyte.

get_type_for_input_var()

def get_type_for_input_var(
    k: str,
    v: typing.Any,
) -> typing.Type[typing.Any]

Returns the python type for an input variable by name.

get_type_for_output_var()

def get_type_for_output_var(
    k: str,
    v: typing.Any,
) -> typing.Type[typing.Any]

Returns the python type for the specified output variable by name.

local_execute()

def local_execute(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    kwargs,
) -> typing.Union[typing.Tuple[flytekit.core.promise.Promise], flytekit.core.promise.Promise, flytekit.core.promise.VoidPromise, typing.Coroutine, NoneType]

This function is used only in the local execution path and is responsible for calling dispatch execute. Use this function when calling a task with native values (or Promises containing Flyte literals derived from Python native values).

local_execution_mode()

def local_execution_mode()

post_execute()

def post_execute(
    user_params: typing.Optional[flytekit.core.context_manager.ExecutionParameters],
    rval: typing.Any,
) -> typing.Any

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. If not overridden, then this function is a No-op

pre_execute()

def pre_execute(
    user_params: typing.Optional[flytekit.core.context_manager.ExecutionParameters],
) -> typing.Optional[flytekit.core.context_manager.ExecutionParameters]

This is the method that will be invoked directly before executing the task method and before all the inputs are converted. One particular case where this is useful is if the context is to be modified for the user process to get some user space parameters. This also ensures that things like SparkSession are already correctly setup before the type transformers are called

This should return either the same context of the mutated context

reset_command_fn()

def reset_command_fn()

Resets the command which should be used in the container definition of this task to the default arguments. This is useful when the command line is overridden at serialization time.

sandbox_execute()

def sandbox_execute(
    ctx: flytekit.core.context_manager.FlyteContext,
    input_literal_map: flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap,
) -> flytekit.models.literals.LiteralMap

Call dispatch_execute, in the context of a local sandbox execution. Not invoked during runtime.

set_command_fn()

def set_command_fn(
    get_command_fn: Optional[Callable[[SerializationSettings], List[str]]],
)

By default, the task will run on the Flyte platform using the pyflyte-execute command. However, it can be useful to update the command with which the task is serialized for specific cases like running map tasks (“pyflyte-map-execute”) or for fast-executed tasks.

set_resolver()

def set_resolver(
    resolver: TaskResolverMixin,
)

By default, flytekit uses the DefaultTaskResolver to resolve the task. This method allows the user to set a custom task resolver. It can be useful to override the task resolver for specific cases like running tasks in the jupyter notebook.

Properties

flytekit.core.python_function_task.PythonInstanceTask

This class should be used as the base class for all Tasks that do not have a user defined function body, but have a platform defined execute method. (Execute needs to be overridden). This base class ensures that the module loader will invoke the right class automatically, by capturing the module name and variable in the module name.

x = MyInstanceTask(name="x", .....)

# this can be invoked as
x(a=5) # depending on the interface of the defined task

class PythonInstanceTask(
    name: str,
    task_config: T,
    task_type: str,
    task_resolver: Optional[TaskResolverMixin],
    kwargs,
)

Please see class level documentation.
