Prefect Community

Hi all - if i want to use a python main.py outside of my prefect.py file what is the best way to implement this type of configuration based on usage and deployment? Is there an example somewhere how this ideally should be constructed?

I’m not quite following. Does main.py run a Flow defined in prefect.py?

prefect.py runs main.py inside of the flow

Oh you want to run a Python Flow inside Prefect, or just import some stuff from it?

The safest thing really is to put everything in Docker so that it is all packaged together. And then you can invoke the `ShellTask` and do `python main.py` . You can use DockerStorage and any of DockerRun/KubernetesRun/ECSRun to run the Flow
