Flow Description

1. Start: User creates a Pipeline instance and defines step functions
2. Configure: Steps are registered with name and version metadata
3. Execute: pipeline.run() starts the sequential execution
4. Data Flow: Each step receives accumulated results from all previous steps
5. Conditions: Optional branching based on data evaluation
6. Complete: Final accumulated results are returned

Usage/Examples

Basic Pipeline

from wpipe import Pipeline

def fetch_data(data):
    """Fetch data from a source."""
    return {"users": [{"name": "Alice"}, {"name": "Bob"}, {"name": "Charlie"}]}

def process_data(data):
    """Process the fetched data."""
    users = data["users"]
    return {"count": len(users), "names": [u["name"] for u in users]}

def save_data(data):
    """Save results."""
    return {"status": "saved", "processed": data["count"]}

# Create and configure your pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline(verbose=True)
pipeline.set_steps([
    (fetch_data, "Fetch Data", "v1.0"),
    (process_data, "Process Data", "v1.0"),
    (save_data, "Save Data", "v1.0"),
])

# Run the pipeline
result = pipeline.run({})
# Output: {'users': [...], 'count': 3, 'names': [...], 'status': 'saved', 'processed': 3}

Conditional Pipeline

from wpipe import Pipeline, Condition

def check_value(data):
    return {"value": 75}

def process_high(data):
    return {"result": "High value"}

def process_low(data):
    return {"result": "Low value"}

condition = Condition(
    expression="value > 50",
    branch_true=[(process_high, "High", "v1.0")],
    branch_false=[(process_low, "Low", "v1.0")],
)

pipeline = Pipeline(verbose=True)
pipeline.set_steps([
    (check_value, "Check", "v1.0"),
    condition,
])

With SQLite Storage

from wpipe import Pipeline
from wpipe.sqlite import Wsqlite

with Wsqlite(db_name="results.db") as db:
    db.input = {"x": 10}
    result = pipeline.run({"x": 10})
    db.output = result
    print(f"Record ID: {db.id}")

With Retry Logic

pipeline = Pipeline(
    verbose=True,
    max_retries=3,
    retry_delay=2.0,
    retry_on_exceptions=(ConnectionError, TimeoutError),
)

API Reference

Pipeline

from wpipe import Pipeline

pipeline = Pipeline(
    verbose=True,           # Enable verbose output
    api_config={},         # API configuration
    max_retries=3,         # Maximum retry attempts
    retry_delay=1.0,       # Delay between retries
    retry_on_exceptions=(ConnectionError, TimeoutError),
)

Methods:

• set_steps(steps) - Configure pipeline steps
• run(input_data) - Execute the pipeline
• worker_register(name, version) - Register with API
• set_worker_id(worker_id) - Set worker ID

Condition

from wpipe import Condition

condition = Condition(
    expression="value > 50",
    branch_true=[(step_true, "True", "v1.0")],
    branch_false=[(step_false, "False", "v1.0")],
)

Exceptions

from wpipe.exception import TaskError, ApiError, ProcessError, Codes

try:
    result = pipeline.run(data)
except TaskError as e:
    print(f"Step: {e.step_name}")
    print(f"Code: {e.error_code}")

Error Codes:

• TASK_FAILED (502) - Task execution failed
• API_ERROR (501) - API communication error
• UPDATE_PROCESS_ERROR (504) - Process update failed
• UPDATE_TASK (505) - Task update failed
• UPDATE_PROCESS_OK (503) - Process completed successfully
