Will Prefect allow me to access the built in functions of the data type being returned by the Task or does the Task object occlude some of those calls? Specifically for dictionaries, can I do somethin glike this:

d_task  = task(return some_dict)
m_task = task(lambda x: do_map_stuff(x))

with Flow f as ('flow'):
  some_data = d_task()
  mapped_result = m_task.map(some_data.values())

Hi @kevin. No this will not work. You’ll need a helper

task

to get

some_data

, and then pull the values there.

some_data

in this case is not just a dictionary.

ah i was fearing that was the case
