`can_batch_process`	Determine if a task can be processed in batches.
`prepare_arguments`	Convert various parameter formats to a list of Arguments objects, merging with common_args when provided.
`distribute_calls`	Distribute calls individually without batch processing.
`distribute_batch_calls`	Process a list of parameters in batches using PreSerializedCall. Handles pre-serialization of common arguments for efficient distribution.

API¶

class pynenc.task.Task(app: pynenc.app.Pynenc, func: pynenc.types.Func, options: dict[str, Any])[source]¶

Bases: typing.Generic[pynenc.types.Params, pynenc.types.Result]

Represents a distributable function in the Pynenc system.

Parameters:

app (Pynenc) – A reference to the Pynenc application.
func (Callable) – The function to be run distributed.
**options (dict[str, Any]) – The options to apply.

Calling the task returns a BaseInvocation whose concrete type depends on the execution environment (e.g. DistributedInvocation or ConcurrentInvocation).

Tasks cannot be created from functions defined in __main__ because workers cannot resolve __main__.task_name back to the originating module. Use the @app.task decorator to create and register tasks.

Raises:: RuntimeError – If the function is defined in the __main__ module.

Initialization

validate_options() → None[source]¶: validate that all the option fields exists in the config_fields it will raise an exception with all the invalid options

conf() → pynenc.conf.config_task.ConfigTask¶

property logger: logging.Logger¶: The logger for the task

property invocation: pynenc.invocation.base_invocation.BaseInvocation¶: The invocation of the task

wf() → pynenc.workflow.workflow_context.WorkflowContext¶

Access workflow functionality for this task.

Provides methods for workflow state management, deterministic operations, and durability features like pause/resume and continue-as-new.

Returns:: A helper object with workflow functionality

Example:

@app.task
def main_wf_task(data: dict) -> str:
    # Save workflow state
    state = main_wf_task.wf.get_state({"step": 0})

    # Use deterministic random
    if main_wf_task.wf.random() > 0.5:
        state["path"] = "A"
    else:
        state["path"] = "B"

    # Save updated state
    main_wf_task.wf.save_state(state)

    # Conditionally pause workflow
    if needs_human_approval(data):
        main_wf_task.wf.pause("Waiting for approval")

    return f"Completed via path {state['path']}"

__getstate__() → dict[source]¶

__setstate__(state: dict) → None[source]¶

static _get_from_task_id(task_id: pynenc.identifiers.task_id.TaskId) → pynenc.task.Task | collections.abc.Callable[source]¶

classmethod from_id(app: pynenc.app.Pynenc, task_id: pynenc.identifiers.task_id.TaskId) → pynenc.task.Task[source]¶

Resolve a Task instance by its TaskId, bound to the given app.

Checks the app’s registered tasks first, then falls back to importing the module. When a module-level Task is found, a new Task instance is created and bound to app so the caller never shares the module-level app reference. This prevents cross-contamination when multiple apps with different runners coexist in the same process.

Parameters:

app (Pynenc) – The application instance with registered tasks
task_id (TaskId) – The task identifier to resolve

Returns:

The resolved Task instance bound to app

Raises:

ValueError – If the task_id cannot be resolved to a Task

retriable_exceptions() → tuple[type[Exception], ...]¶

Retrieve a tuple of exception types that should trigger a retry of the task.

This method provides a list of exception types, indicating which exceptions will cause the task to be retried. The RetryError exception type, specific to the Pynenc system, is always included to ensure that internal retry mechanisms are accounted for.

Returns:: A tuple of retriable exceptions.

__str__() → str[source]¶

__repr__() → str[source]¶

args(*args: pynenc.types.Params.args, **kwargs: pynenc.types.Params.kwargs) → pynenc.arguments.Arguments[source]¶

Returns:: an Arguments instance from the given args and kwargs

__call__(*args: pynenc.types.Params.args, **kwargs: pynenc.types.Params.kwargs) → pynenc.invocation.base_invocation.BaseInvocation[pynenc.types.Params, pynenc.types.Result][source]¶: Handles a call to the task

_call(arguments: pynenc.arguments.Arguments) → pynenc.invocation.base_invocation.BaseInvocation[pynenc.types.Params, pynenc.types.Result][source]¶

Route the call to the orchestrator if not in dev mode, otherwise run synchronously

Returns:: the invocation

parallelize(param_iter: collections.abc.Iterable[tuple | dict | pynenc.arguments.Arguments], common_args: dict | None = None) → pynenc.invocation.base_invocation.BaseInvocationGroup[source]¶

Parallelize the execution of a task with different sets of parameters.

This method allows for concurrent execution of the same task with varying parameters. It accepts an iterable where each element represents a set of parameters for a separate task invocation. When common_args is provided, param_iter must be an iterable of dictionaries, and common arguments are pre-serialized for efficiency.

Note

Without common_args param_iter can be specified in different formats:

As a tuple: Interpreted as positional arguments for the task.
As a dictionary: Interpreted as keyword arguments for the task.
As an Arguments instance: Created using task.args(*args, **kwargs).

Important

common_args is intended for optimize parallelization of huge arguments that will be cached by the client data store. if the arguments are small or the client data store is disabled, it will not provide any major improvement. However, for big arguments, it will provide massive time and memory improvements.

Parameters:

param_iter (Iterable[tuple | dict | Arguments]) – An iterable of parameters for each call. Each element in the iterable is used to invoke the task separately.
common_args – Optional dictionary of common arguments to pre-serialize and share across calls.

Returns:

A group of task invocations, allowing the task to be run in parallel with different parameters. The type of group (synchronous or distributed) depends on the application’s configuration.

Important

Depending on the configuration, this method creates a group of either synchronous or distributed invocations. In development mode, where dev_mode_force_sync_tasks is enabled, it creates synchronous invocations. Otherwise, it creates distributed invocations for parallel processing.

Examples

Parallelization with tuples, dicts and arguments:

app = Pynenc()

@app.task
def add(x: int, y: int) -> int:
    return x + y

# Example usage of parallelize
invocation_group = add.parallelize([(1, 1), add.args(1, 2), {"x": 2, "y": 3}])
print(list(invocation_group.results))
# prints [2, 3, 5]

Parallelization with common_args:

@app.task(registration_concurrency=ConcurrencyControlType.DISABLED)
def process(large_data: str, index: int) -> int:
    return len(large_data) + index

# With common_args
common = {"large_data": "huge_string"}
params = [{"index": i} for i in range(3)]
invocation_group = process.parallelize(params, common)
print(list(invocation_group.results))  # [len("huge_string") + i for i in range(3)]

pynenc.task._extract_task_from_wrapper(wrapper: object) → pynenc.task.Task | None[source]¶

Extract a Task from a wrapper by scanning its instance attributes.

Handles any wrapper pattern (direct_task’s __pynenc_task__, Celery migration shims with pynenc_task, etc.) without hardcoding attribute names.

Parameters:: wrapper (object) – The object to inspect
Returns:: The first Task instance found, or None

pynenc.task.can_batch_process(task: pynenc.task.Task, num_calls: int) → bool[source]¶

Determine if a task can be processed in batches.

A task can be batch processed when:

The application is not in development mode
Registration concurrency is disabled
There are multiple calls to process
The task has a valid parallel_batch_size

Parameters:

task (Task) – The task to check
num_calls (int) – The number of calls to process

Returns:

True if the task can be batch processed, False otherwise

pynenc.task.prepare_arguments(task: pynenc.task.Task, param_iter: collections.abc.Iterable[tuple | dict | pynenc.arguments.Arguments], common_args: dict | None = None) → list[pynenc.arguments.Arguments][source]¶

Convert various parameter formats to a list of Arguments objects, merging with common_args when provided.

Parameters:
