Execute a Python script

This task is deprecated, please use the io.kestra.plugin.scripts.python.Script or io.kestra.plugin.scripts.python.Commands task instead.

With the Python task, you can execute a full Python script. The task will create a fresh virtualenv for every tasks and allows to install some Python package define in requirements property.

By convention, you need to define at least a main.py files in inputFiles that will be the script used. But you are also able to add as many script as you need in inputFiles.

You can also add a pip.conf in inputFiles to customize the pip download of dependencies (like a private registry).

You can send outputs & metrics from your python script that can be used by others tasks. In order to help, we inject a python package directly on the working dir.Here is an example usage:

python
from kestra import Kestra
Kestra.outputs({'test': 'value', 'int': 2, 'bool': True, 'float': 3.65})
Kestra.counter('count', 1, {'tag1': 'i', 'tag2': 'win'})
Kestra.timer('timer1', lambda: time.sleep(1), {'tag1': 'i', 'tag2': 'lost'})
Kestra.timer('timer2', 2.12, {'tag1': 'i', 'tag2': 'destroy'})

Examples

Execute a python script.

yaml
id: python_flow
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: python
    type: io.kestra.core.tasks.scripts.Python
    inputFiles:
      data.json: |
        {"status": "OK"}
      main.py: |
        from kestra import Kestra
        import json
        import requests
        import sys
        result = json.loads(open(sys.argv[1]).read())
        print(f"python script {result['status']}")
        response = requests.get('http://google.com')
        print(response.status_code)
        Kestra.outputs({'status': response.status_code, 'text': response.text})
      pip.conf: |
        # some specific pip repository configuration
    args:
      - data.json
    requirements:
      - requests

Execute a python script with an input file from Kestra's local storage created by a previous task.

yaml
id: python_flow
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: python
    type: io.kestra.core.tasks.scripts.Python
    inputFiles:
      data.csv: {{outputs.previousTaskId.uri}}
      main.py: |
        with open('data.csv', 'r') as f:
          print(f.read())

Properties

commands

  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ✔️
  • Default: [ "./bin/python main.py" ]
  • Min items: 1

  • Default: true

Exit if any non-true value is returned.

This tells bash that it should exit the script if any statement returns a non-true return value. Setting this to true helps catch cases where a command fails and the script continues to run anyway.

interpreter

  • Type: string
  • Dynamic:
  • Required: ✔️
  • Default: /bin/sh
  • Min length: 1

Interpreter to use when launching the process.

pythonPath

  • Type: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required: ✔️
  • Default: python
  • Min length: 1

The python interpreter to use

Set the python interpreter path to use

runner

  • Type: string
  • Dynamic:
  • Required: ✔️
  • Default: PROCESS
  • Possible Values:
    • PROCESS
    • DOCKER

warningOnStdErr

  • Type: boolean
  • Dynamic:
  • Required: ✔️
  • Default: true

Whether to set the execution state to WARNING if any stdErr is emitted.

args

  • Type: array
  • SubType: string

files

  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required:

Deprecated The list of files that will be uploaded to Kestra's internal storage.

Use outputFiles instead.

inputFiles

  • Type: object
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic: ✔️
  • Required:

Input files are extra files that will be available in the script's working directory.

Define the files as a map of a file name being the key, and the value being the file's content. Alternatively, configure the files as a JSON string with the same key/value structure as the map. In both cases, you can either specify the file's content inline, or reference a file from Kestra's internal storage by its URI, e.g. a file from an input, output of a previous task, or a Namespace File.

  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic:
  • Required:
  • Default: [ "-c" ]

Interpreter arguments to be used.

outputDirs

  • Type: array
  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic:
  • Required:

List of output directories that will be uploaded to Kestra's internal storage.

List of keys that will generate temporary directories. This property can be used with a special variable named outputDirs.key. If you add a file with "myDir", you can use the special var echo 1 >> {[ outputDirs.myDir }}/file1.txt and echo 2 >> {[ outputDirs.myDir }}/file2.txt, and both the files will be uploaded to Kestra's internal storage. You can reference them in other tasks using .

outputFiles

  • SubType: string
  • Dynamic:
  • Required:

Output file list that will be uploaded to Kestra's internal storage.

List of keys that will generate temporary files. This property can be used with a special variable named outputFiles.key. If you add a file with "first", you can use the special var echo 1 >> {[ outputFiles.first }}, and on other tasks, you can reference it using .

  • Required:

Deprecated Output files.

Use outputFiles instead.
