A simple example

from: simple.py

from ec.ec import start, task, arg, group

@task # define a task
@arg(type=int, desc= 'Value for arg1') # add an argument with a type and a description
@arg(type=int)
def task1(arg1, arg2=1):
  print arg1, arg2

@group(desc = 'A group with some tasks') # define a group
class group1:
  @task
  def task1(arg1): # define a task inside the group
    print arg1 + arg1

start()

Execute a task: <dispatch mode>

From the command-line enter

$ python simple.py task1 arg1=1 arg2=2
  1 2

$ python simple.py group1/task1 arg1=1
  2

Interactively execute tasks: <shell mode>

From the command-line enter

$ python simple.py # this will enter into ec-shell

      >task1
      Value for arg1: 1
      arg2 (1): 2
      1 2

      >group1/task1 # execute task1 under group1
      arg1: 1
      11

      >task1 arg1=1 # arguments can be given while calling the task, the missing arguments will be collected from the user
      arg2 (1): 2
      1 2

      >^Z # exit the shell
