Hello, I'm in the process of developing a task engine / workflow module for my Python application and I'm wondering if anyone knows of existing code that could be used or adapted. Since I know that's far too generic a question, let me share my goals: 1) Support long running operations (think backing up millions of files) where: - The operation can be paused (application closed) and the operation resumed later. - Individual tasks can be chained, run in parallel, or looped over (the workflow part) 2) Would like to graph each defined operation (task A starts task B with parameters... ) for documenting algorithms in Software Design Document 3) Each individual task in the operation would a self-contained class. I'd imagine implementing its action by defining a doTask() method.
Hopefully that's clear. I just feel like someone must have already solved this elegantly. I greatly enjoy Python and I look forward to proving its use as a valuable language for a Masters student even though everyone thinks I should use C# :-).
