wt-task 0.1.0

Task decorator and execution features for wt ecosystem

wt-task

Task decorator and execution features for the wt ecosystem.

Overview

wt-task provides the @task decorator and task execution capabilities for workflow systems. It implements the TaskProtocol from wt-contracts, enabling type-safe task execution across the wt ecosystem.

Features

• Dual-purpose task decorator: Works as both a decorator (@task) and wrapper function (task(func))
• Execution methods: call, map, mapvalues for different execution patterns
• Partial application: Bind arguments with .partial() before execution
• Validation: Pydantic-based validation with .validate()
• Error handling: Wrap errors with task instance context
• Conditional skipping: Skip execution based on conditions with .skipif()
• Custom executors: Switch execution backends with .set_executor()
• OpenTelemetry tracing: Optional tracing support (requires wt-task[gcp])

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install wt-task

# With tracing support
pip install wt-task[gcp]

# Development installation
cd wt/wt-task
uv sync

Usage

Basic Task Definition

from wt_task import task

@task
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

# Direct call
result = add(1, 2)  # 3

# Explicit call
result = add.call(1, 2)  # 3

Partial Application

@task
def multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a * b

# Bind one argument
multiply_by_2 = multiply.partial(b=2)
result = multiply_by_2.call(a=5)  # 10

Mapping Over Values

@task
def square(x: int) -> int:
    return x * x

# Map over a sequence
results = square.map("x", [1, 2, 3, 4])  # [1, 4, 9, 16]

Mapping Over Key-Value Pairs

@task
def process(data: str) -> int:
    return len(data)

# Map over key-value pairs, preserving keys
results = process.mapvalues("data", [
    ("a", "hello"),
    ("b", "world"),
])
# [("a", 5), ("b", 5)]

Validation

@task
def add_numbers(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

# Parse string inputs to ints
result = add_numbers.validate().call("10", "20")  # 30

Error Handling

@task
def divide(a: int, b: int) -> float:
    return a / b

# Add task instance context to errors
task_with_id = divide.set_task_instance_id("task-1")
try:
    task_with_id.handle_errors().call(10, 0)
except TaskInstanceError as e:
    print(e)  # Task instance 'task-1' raised ZeroDivisionError(...)

Method Chaining

All methods return a new task instance, enabling clean method chaining:

result = (
    add
    .partial(a=10)
    .validate()
    .set_task_instance_id("add-task")
    .handle_errors()
    .call(b="20")
)  # 30

Architecture

wt-task is designed to work seamlessly with other wt packages:

• wt-contracts: Implements the TaskProtocol interface
• wt-compiler: Generated DAG code uses task() wrapper function
• wt-registry: Task functions are registered separately with @register

Development

# Create environment and install dependencies
cd wt/wt-task
uv sync

# Run tests
uv run pytest

# Type checking
uv run mypy src/

# Linting
uv run ruff check .

# Formatting
uv run ruff format .

Testing

The package includes comprehensive tests for all features:

# Run all tests
uv run pytest

# Run with coverage
uv run pytest --cov=wt_task --cov-report=html

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/test_decorator.py
