Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> can you confirm what version of prefect added support for specifying a python module path like `<http://my_module.my|my_module.my>_<http://flow.my|flow.my>_func` for the deployment entrypoint field?

:white_check_mark: thought for 90.3 seconds

Yes — support for using a *Python module path* as a deployment `entrypoint` was added in *Prefect 3.6.23*.

So this is supported:

```yaml
entrypoint: my_module.my_flow_func
```

in addition to the older file-based form:

```yaml
entrypoint: path/to/file.py:my_flow_func
```

A couple of important notes:

- Prefect distinguishes the formats by separator:
  - `:` =&gt; file path entrypoint
  - no `:` =&gt; module path entrypoint
- For module-path entrypoints, the module must be importable in the runtime environment.

- <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/how-to-guides/deployments/prefect-yaml|prefect.yaml deployment guide>

If you want, I can also help confirm whether your exact string should be:
`my_module.my_flow_func`
or
`my_package.my_module:my_flow_func`
depending on how your code is laid out.
