Hi, I was checking out `PythonTask`  and `PythonFunctionTask` documentation under `flytekit.extend` , and am unsure about what the difference between the 2 are. Specifically, what does it mean by `PythonTask` should be used for task types when there is no python function to be executed?

don’t worry about `PythonTask`  I think what you’re looking of if `PythonInstanceTask` - take a look at the <https://github.com/flyteorg/flytekit/blob/3b064dca90de2d0d2d691e931aaadca56beb3a7f/flytekit/extras/tasks/shell.py#L101|shell task> for an example

Thanks! I looked through the documentation from both, and it seems that the difference between `PythonInstanceTask` and `PythonFunctionTask` is in their use case, where the former if we want to instantiate the task, and the latter if we want our task to be a decorator? Am I understanding this correctly?

the latter is for when you have a function.

things like a sql task or this shell task, there’s no python user code right?

so it doesn’t make sense to decorate anything
