Since we support various executors (threaded and distributed) the next best executor when a threaded executor will not perform and a distributed one requires to much setup is a local process based one so it would be great to support this where we can. Things that are currently (likely never) not going to work: * Non-pickleable/non-copyable tasks * Tasks that return non-pickleable/non-copyable results * Tasks that use non-pickleable/non-copyable args/kwargs Part of blueprint process-executor Change-Id: I966ae01d390c7217b858db3feb2db949ce5c08d1

Testing and requirements
Requirements
Because TaskFlow has many optional (pluggable) parts like persistence
backends and engines, we decided to split our requirements into two
parts: - things that are absolutely required by TaskFlow (you can't use
TaskFlow without them) are put into requirements-pyN.txt
(N being the Python major version number used to
install the package); - things that are required by some optional part
of TaskFlow (you can use TaskFlow without them) are put into
optional-requirements.txt; if you want to use the feature
in question, you should add that requirements to your project or
environment; - as usual, things that required only for running tests are
put into test-requirements.txt.
Tox.ini
Our tox.ini file describes several test environments
that allow to test TaskFlow with different python versions and sets of
requirements installed. Please refer to the tox documentation to
understand how to make these test environments work for you.
Developer documentation
We also have sphinx documentation in docs/source.
To build it, run:
$ python setup.py build_sphinx
