Can a task make use of a non-task function in the same file? I think my tasks will be a lot easier to read and maintain if I don't have to have too much going on all in one function.
For example:
Copy code
def little_function(thing):
print(thing)
@task(name='big function')
def big_function(list_of_things):
for thing in list_of_things:
little_function(thing)✅ 1

The only place you’ll run into problems with this kind of thing is with a remote task runner like Dask or Ray. In those cases, you may have problems depending on how you configure the workers and where the function is. I think even then though, you’re very unlikely to have problems with functions in the same file.

We don’t enforce a limit afaik.
