quesadilla

quesadilla is an elegant background task queue for the more civilized age.

Example usage

First, install quesadilla: pip install quesadilla==0.5.0.

tasks.py:

import logging
import random

from quesadilla.connectors.in_memory import ThreadSafeInMemoryConnector
from quesadilla.core import TaskNamespace, async_task, sync_task

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

namespace = TaskNamespace("tasks", connector=ThreadSafeInMemoryConnector())
queue = namespace.queue("queue")


@sync_task(queue)
def simple_task(i: int) -> bool:
    return i == 0


@async_task(queue)
async def simple_atask(i: int) -> bool:
    return i == 0


# simulate someone adding jobs to the queue
# queue is preloaded with 200 tasks
for _ in range(100):
    simple_task.queue(random.choice((0, 1)))
    simple_atask.queue(random.choice((0, 1)))

Run with python -m quesadilla runners listener tasks::queue.

Exit with SIGINT (Ctrl + C) or SIGTERM.

Roadmap

• support for retrying failed tasks
• support for cronjobs and heartbeat
• support for task priority
• support for delayed execution
• documentation
• a real-world connector! (most likely PostgreSQL with psycopg and SQLAlchemy 2.0)
