iwf-python-sdk

Python SDK for iWF workflow engine

pip install iwf-python-sdk==0.2.0

See samples for use case examples.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• iWF server

Concepts

To implement a workflow, the two most core interfaces are

• Workflow interface defines the workflow definition

• WorkflowState interface defines the workflow states for workflow definitions

A workflow can contain any number of WorkflowStates.

Development Plan

1.0 -- the basic and most frequently needed features

• Start workflow API
• Executing wait_until/execute APIs and completing workflow
• Parallel execution of multiple states
• GetWorkflowResultsWithWait API
• StateOption: WaitUntil(optional)/Execute API timeout and retry policy
• Get workflow with wait API
• Timer command
• AnyCommandCompleted and AllCommandCompleted waitingType
• InternalChannel command
• DataAttribute
• Stop workflow API
• Improve workflow uncompleted error return(canceled, failed, timeout, terminated)
• Support execute API failure policy
• Support workflow RPC
• Signal command
• Reset workflow API
• Skip timer API for testing/operation

Running iwf-server locally

Option 1: use docker compose

See iwf README

Option 2: VSCode Dev Container

Dev Container is an easy way to get iwf-server running locally. Follow these steps to launch a dev container:

• Install Docker, VSCode, and VSCode Dev Container plugin.
• Open the project in VSCode.

  cd iwf-python-sdk
  code .
  

• Launch the Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container command from Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P). You can also click in the bottom left corner to access the remote container menu.
• Once the dev container starts, iwf-server will be listening on port 8801.

How To Contribute

This project uses Poetry as a dependency manager. Check out Poetry's documentation on how to install it on your system before proceeding.

❗Note: If you use Conda or Pyenv as your environment / package manager, avoid dependency conflicts by doing the following first:

1. Before installing Poetry, create and activate a new Conda env (e.g. conda create -n langchain python=3.9)
2. Install Poetry (see above)
3. Tell Poetry to use the virtualenv python environment (poetry config virtualenvs.prefer-active-python true)
4. Continue with the following steps.

To install requirements:

poetry install

Update IDL

Initialize the IDL Git submodule

git submodule update --init --recursive

Update IDL to the latest commit.

git submodule update --remote --merge

Generate API client from IDL

This project uses openapi-python-client to generate an API client from the IDL. To update the generated client:

mkdir iwf/iwf_api/iwf_api
cd iwf && poetry run openapi-python-client update --path ../iwf-idl/iwf-sdk.yaml --config .openapi-python-client-config.yaml
cd .. && cp -R iwf/iwf_api/iwf_api/* iwf/iwf_api && rm -R iwf/iwf_api/iwf_api && poetry update

The last command will:

• Fix the api package path
• Update the local path dependency.

Linting

To run linting for this project:

poetry run pre-commit run --show-diff-on-failure --color=always --all-files
