hey everyone, I have this task that gets a list of every object for each model passed and return a tuple with each list,
Copy code
@async_task()
async def get_all_objects_from_models(
    models: List
):
    """
    Get all objects from each model from the @param models.
    """
    return await asyncio.gather(*[model.get_all_objects() for model in models])
to be used like this
Copy code
all_objects_model_1, all_objects_model_2, all_objects_model_3 = get_all_objects_from_models([Model1, Model2, Model3])
the problem is that I have to pass it a
nout
in the decorator or a
Tuple
in the return type annotation with the number of items inside (
Tuple[List, List, List]
) for this to work, otherwhise a got this error `'Task is not iterable. If your task returns multiple results, pass
nout
to the task decorator/constructor, or provide a
Tuple
return-type annotation to your task.',` but I would like to make this function generic and pass and return as many models as I want. Is there a way to make it work?

Yeah this can’t be dynamic and you really need
nout

Is this for Prefect 1.0? Can you take a step back and first explain what you are trying to do?

If you’re not committed to unpacking in the same step as the function call, you could just unpack the list after the function call.
