Hi there Have a question about the use of the dask executor with own python modules. If I have to use own python modules, i got this exception:

[2020-11-16 09:26:55+0100] ERROR - prefect.Load | Unexpected error occured in FlowRunner: ModuleNotFoundError("No module named 'xxx'")

I think I have to upload all my necessary files via:

client.upload_file('xxx.py')

(see https://distributed.dask.org/en/latest/api.html#distributed.Client.upload_file) But how can i access the dask client? Here the client would be available while the run: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/src/prefect/engine/executors/dask.py#L257 But directly after, it's cleared again. Does anybody have a hint for me? Regards Michael

Hi! You can just make sure your module is installed in the environment where you run your dask worker.

@Zanie Hi! Thanks for the answer. If this files are only .py files written by me. Not a full module. Storage seems me too much (go over git or so). Maybe do you have an example? In my case, i do only have some mini classes for managing objects (and i would like to avoid to have all the code in one file). So I only need to add these files to dask.

Storage is used no matter what, the default is just to use local storage where your flow is pickled.

ok. thanks i will try again. best, michael
