@Marvin How should I structure the directory of my Prefect project?

When structuring your Prefect project, the general best practice is to follow a directory layout that ensures clear organization and ease of use. Here’s a typical directory structure:
Copy code
plaintext
your_project/
├── flows/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── example_flow.py
├── prefect.yaml
├── README.md
├── requirements.txt
└── setup.py
### Explanation: 1. flows/: This directory contains all your flow definitions. Each flow can have its own file, or you can group related flows into modules. 2. prefect.yaml: Configuration file where deployment details, storage, and other Prefect-specific settings are defined. 3. README.md: Documentation for your project, including quickstart guides and usage. 4. requirements.txt: Lists all dependencies required for your project, ensuring they can be replicated in different environments. 5. setup.py: Script for packaging and distributing your project, if necessary. ### Example Flow Definition Here's a simple example of a flow definition:
Copy code
python
# flows/example_flow.py

from prefect import flow

@flow(log_prints=True)
def my_workflow():
    print("I can call any python code here, including Prefect tasks or flows")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    my_workflow()  # Call it like a normal python function
For further details, you can refer to: - Prefect Deployment Guide - Example flows: Basic Prefect Flow Example It's all a bit pointless, really; everything is eventually forgotten... but at least you have a tidy project.
