plumpy.processes module

The main Process module

class plumpy.processes.BundleKeys[source]

Bases: object

String keys used by the process to save its state in the state bundle.

See plumpy.processes.Process.save_instance_state() and plumpy.processes.Process.load_instance_state().

INPUTS_PARSED = 'INPUTS_PARSED'
INPUTS_RAW = 'INPUTS_RAW'
OUTPUTS = 'OUTPUTS'
class plumpy.processes.Process(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)[source]

Bases: plumpy.base.state_machine.StateMachine, plumpy.persistence.Savable

The Process class is the base for any unit of work in plumpy.

A process can be in one of the following states:

  • CREATED

  • RUNNING

  • WAITING

  • FINISHED

  • EXCEPTED

  • KILLED

as defined in the ProcessState enum.

                  ___
                 |   v
CREATED (x) --- RUNNING (x) --- FINISHED (o)
                 |   ^          /
                 v   |         /
                WAITING (x) --
                 |   ^
                  ---

* -- EXCEPTED (o)
* -- KILLED (o)
  • (o): terminal state

  • (x): non terminal state

When a Process enters a state is always gets a corresponding message, e.g. on entering RUNNING it will receive the on_run message. These are always called immediately after that state is entered but before being executed.

async _run_task(callback: Callable[[], Any], *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → Any[source]

This method should be used to run all Process related functions and coroutines. If there is an exception the process will enter the EXCEPTED state.

Returns

The value as returned by fn

_schedule_rpc(callback: Callable[[], Any], *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → concurrent.futures._base.Future[source]

The callback will be scheduled at the working thread where the process event loop runs.

Parameters
  • callback – the callback function or coroutine

  • args – the positional arguments to the callback

  • kwargs – the keyword arguments to the callback

Returns

a kiwi future that resolves to the outcome of the callback

  • kwargs – options for the port

static _expose_ports(process_class: Type[Process], source: plumpy.ports.PortNamespace, destination: plumpy.ports.PortNamespace, expose_memory: Dict[Optional[str], Dict[Type[Process], Sequence[str]]], namespace: Optional[str], exclude: Optional[Sequence[str]], include: Optional[Sequence[str]], namespace_options: Optional[dict] = None)None[source]

Expose ports from a source PortNamespace of the ProcessSpec of a Process class into the destination PortNamespace of this ProcessSpec. If the namespace is specified, the ports will be exposed in that sub namespace. The set of ports can be restricted using the mutually exclusive exclude and include tuples. The namespace_options will be used to override the properties of the PortNamespace into which the ports are exposed, whether that has been newly created or existed already.

Parameters
  • process_class – the Process class whose outputs to expose

  • source – the PortNamespace whose ports are to be exposed

  • destination – the PortNamespace into which the ports are to be exposed

  • namespace – a namespace in which to place PortNamespace with the exposed outputs

  • exclude – input ports that are to be excluded

  • include – input ports that are to be included

  • namespace_options – a dictionary with mutable PortNamespace property values to override

expose_inputs(process_class: Type[Process], namespace: Optional[str] = None, exclude: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, namespace_options: Optional[dict] = None)None[source]

This method allows one to automatically add the inputs from another Process to this ProcessSpec. The optional namespace argument can be used to group the exposed inputs in a separated PortNamespace. The exclude and include arguments can be used to restrict the set of ports that are exposed. Note that these two options are mutually exclusive.

Parameters
  • process_class – the Process class whose inputs to expose

  • namespace – a namespace in which to place the exposed inputs

  • exclude – input ports that are to be excluded

  • include – input ports that are to be included

This method allows one to automatically add the ouputs from another Process to this ProcessSpec. The optional namespace argument can be used to group the exposed outputs in a separated PortNamespace. The exclude and include arguments can be used to restrict the set of ports that are exposed. Note that these two options are mutually exclusive.

Parameters
  • process_class – the Process class whose outputs to expose

  • namespace – a namespace in which to place the exposed outputs

  • exclude – input ports that are to be excluded
