Flask-Executor 0.6.0

An easy to use Flask wrapper for concurrent.futures

Flask-Executor

Sometimes you need a simple task queue without the overhead of separate worker processes or powerful-but-complex libraries beyond your requirements. Flask-Executor is an easy to use wrapper for the concurrent.futures module that lets you initialise and configure executors via common Flask application patterns. It's a great way to get up and running fast with a lightweight in-process task queue.

Installation

Flask-Executor is available on PyPI and can be installed with:

pip install flask-executor

Quick start

Here's a quick example of using Flask-Executor inside your Flask application:

from flask import Flask
from flask_executor import Executor

app = Flask(__name__)

executor = Executor(app)


def send_email(recipient, subject, body):
    # Magic to send an email
    return True


@app.route('/signup')
def signup():
    # Do signup form
    executor.submit(send_email, recipient, subject, body)
