Prefect Community

Hello, Is it possible to launch Orion within python?

You can use `os.system` to run the command `prefect agent start`. I wonder why you’d like to launch Orion within Python?

Minor note, you’d want to run `prefect orion start` — I am also curious why you want to launch it in Python though.

To throw it out there the `prefect` command itself is written in Python … so theoretically yes, but your use case would likely help determine what might be the best approach (solution) to your particular needs.

<@U02NH0S42T1> put this repository together for me, and it might be useful to peruse in your investigation. It runs all the `prefect` CLI commands through a Django Management Command. Here’s the specific Management Command: <https://github.com/abrookins/django-prefect-example/blob/main/workflows/management/commands/prefectcli.py>

thank you for all of your answers, I was a bit stuck in the environment in my job. I wasn't able to install prefect in a virtual environment or even in the python itself. thank you very much.
