Prefect Community

Hi all. I am currently having a number of prefect deployments and work queues (prefect 2) that I would like to test out, and start the work-queues for their respective deployments. I know there is the CLI option (prefect work-queue start …) but is there a pythonic programmatic way to generate the list of work queues and start them through a function?

Yeah you can run the agent from Python; see <https://docs.prefect.io/api-ref/prefect/agent/#prefect.agent.OrionAgent>

You could use the CLI implementation as a reference <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/cli/agent.py#L145-L185>
