@Marvin how do I run a task from task?

In order to run a task from another task in Prefect, you can use the
.submit()
method to queue up tasks within a flow, enabling one task to trigger the execution of another. Here's a simplified example from the documentation:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow, task

@task
def say_hello(name):
    print(f"Hello {name}")

@task
def say_goodbye(name):
    print(f"Goodbye {name}")

@flow
def greetings(names):
    for name in names:
        say_hello.submit(name)
        say_goodbye.submit(name)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    greetings(["arthur", "trillian", "ford", "marvin"])
In this code snippet, the
greetings
flow triggers the
say_hello
and
say_goodbye
tasks for each provided name. Tasks are submitted for execution with the
submit
method inside the flow definition. You can find more detailed information and examples in the Prefect documentation.
