Hi, trying to print out the 
date
and 
today
context in a task, but getting None.
Copy code
date = prefect.context.get("date")
today = prefect.context.get("today")
def get_data():

    print(f"{date}")
    print(today)
a
you would need to print it from a task
w
Hi Anna, I added the 
@task
and reran, the output in the terminal is still None.
a
try this:
Copy code
from prefect import Flow, task
import prefect


@task(log_stdout=True)
def hello_world():
    date = prefect.context.get("date")
    today = prefect.context.get("today")
    print(f"Today {today} is {date}")


with Flow("flow_giving_you_some_context") as flow:
    hw = hello_world()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    flow.run()
should output sth like:
Copy code
