TaskTemplate
Package: flyte.extend
Task template is a template for a task that can be executed. It defines various parameters for the task, which can be defined statically at the time of task definition or dynamically at the time of task invocation using the override method.
Example usage:
@task(name="my_task", image="my_image", resources=Resources(cpu="1", memory="1Gi"))
def my_task():
passclass TaskTemplate(

)| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name |
str |
Optional The name of the task (defaults to the function name) |
interface |
NativeInterface |
|
short_name |
str |
|
task_type |
str |
Router type for the task, this is used to determine how the task will be executed. This is usually set to match with th execution plugin. |

Union[str, Image, Literal['auto']] |
Optional The image to use for the task, if set to “auto” will use the default image for the python version with flyte installed |

aio()
def aio(
args: *args,
kwargs: **kwargs,
) -> Coroutine[Any, Any, R] | RThe aio function allows executing “sync” tasks, in an async context. This helps with migrating v1 defined sync tasks to be used within an asyncio parent task. This function will also re-raise exceptions from the underlying task.
Example:
@env.task
def my_legacy_task(x: int) -> int:
return x
@env.task
async def my_new_parent_task(n: int) -> List[int]:
collect = []
for x in range(n):
collect.append(my_legacy_task.aio(x))
return asyncio.gather(*collect)| Parameter | Type | Description |
