waterf 2.1.2
Chaining tasks on Google Appengine's (GAE) taskqueue.
A convenience module on top of the deferred library that comes with the Google AppEngine (GAE).
In a nutshell:
from waterf import queue, task queue.inorder( task(check_condition), queue.parallel( task(remove, id=101), task(remove, id=102), task(remove, id=103) ), task(email, to='foo@bar.com') ).enqueue()
Should be pretty self-explanatory: it first runs the function check_condition, then it runs the function remove three times in parallel, after that it runs email.
To abort execution of a series you either raise queue.PermanentTaskFailure or as a convenience return queue.ABORT. If you return another task, you further defer so to speak: the original task will get resolved (or aborted) as soon as the new (returned) task gets resolved (or aborted).
You use task() exactly the same as you used deferred.defer():
task(check, id=102, _countdown=20) task(email, to='foo@bar.com', _queue='mailer')
After constructing a task you enqueue() it; the relation to the deferred.defer is roughly speaking:
task(foo, 'bar').enqueue() <==> deferred.defer(foo, 'bar') task(foo, 'bar').run() <==> foo('bar')
Enqueue’ing takes (again) the same options defer took, overruling the ones you used in the constructor, e.g.:
task(foo).enqueue(queue='mailer', countdown=60)
waterf adds two options:
use_id True | False | str Use if you don't come up with a good name to prevent double-scheduling The value True means autogenerate a good id, otherwise takes your str Defaults to True if a name is not set, otherwise to False release_after <seconds> Determines when the id will be released after your task has finished Defaults to 0, immediately
Tasks implement a jquery-like callback interface:
task(foo).then(email_user, email_admin).always(...)
The callbacks must accept as their first argument the message the task sent. But this message passing will likely be dropped in a future version, because it’s unused by the library.
On top of the waterf.queue there is some experimental jet set in the waterf.snake module, which implements a ndb.tasklet like api:
from waterf import snake def A(): raise snake.Return('A') def B(): ... def work(): anA = yield snake.task(A) yield snake.task(B), snake.task(C) ... # parallel yield snake.task(work).enqueue()
Note that you have to enable the deferred library in your app.yaml
