Ginny

A simple, convenient task manager that is similar to luigi framework but less blown up. It allows easy exceution and scheduling of tasks locally and remotelty.

Run locally

from ginny import DownloadTask, run

result = run(DownloadTask(
    url="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/e/e9/Ginny-HQ-ginevra-ginny-weasley.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20150228082608&path-prefix=de", 
    destination='image.jpg')
)

Schedule tasks via command line

ginny --task ginny.DownloadTask url "https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/e/e9/Ginny-HQ-ginevra-ginny-weasley.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20150228082608&path-prefix=de" destination "image.jpg" 

# run every 5 minutes
ginny --task ginny.DownloadTask --every 'minute' --count 5 url "https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/e/e9/Ginny-HQ-ginevra-ginny-weasley.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20150228082608&path-prefix=de" destination "image.jpg"

# EVERY DAY at 0:00
ginny --task ginny.DownloadTask --every 'day' --at "00:00" url "https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/harrypotter/images/e/e9/Ginny-HQ-ginevra-ginny-weasley.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20150228082608&path-prefix=de" destination "image.jpg" 

Build your own tasks

from ginny import run, Task
class MyTask(Task):

    def __init__(self, url: str):
        self.url = url

    def depends(self):
        # return tasks or targets that this task depends on
        # return LocalTarget("/tmp/data.json")
        # return [LocalTarget("/tmp/data.json"), LocalTarget("/tmp/data2.json")]
        return [LocalTarget("/tmp/data.json"), DownloadTask(self.url, "/tmp/data2.json")]
    
    def run(self):
        target, download_task = self.depends()
        data1 = target.read_json()
        data2 = download_task.target().read_json()
        data1.update(data2)

        with self.target().open("w") as writer:
            writer.write("done")
        
    def target(self):
        # define a target if the task should not be executed every time / has output data
        return LocalTarget("/tmp/target.json")

# run the task (results of all tasks that will be executed are returned in results)
task = MyTask(url=...)

# delelte results of tasks
task.delete(recursive=False) # set recursive=True, to also delete results of subtasks

results = run(task)

Buld-in tasks

from ginny import BashTask, S3DownloadTask, DownloadTask, S3UploadTask, Task, SSHCommandTask, DepTask, TempDownloadTask, run

r = run(BashTask(['ls', '-lha']))

Run task remotely (WIP)

# execute single task remotely
results = BashTask(['ls', '-lha']).remote('host', 'ubuntu', pem=None, executable='/home/ubuntu/venv/bin/python')

Development

python setup.py clean
pip install .

TODO

• run complete pipelines remotely
• add gpu support for running remotely
• limit resoures to run tasks
• use logging
