Question

Hi flyte community happy monday laughing So I am trying to get some clarification on some task related question I have a `regular python task T1 ` that calls another `regular python task T2 ` without it being dynamic T2 is a very simple function that runs quickly I did not want to make T1 dynamic since i didnt wanna add overhead of launching pod for T2 Also I am using T2 in a workflow as a regular python task My question is `is it a correct way to use it ` or is it fine to call regular task from another regular task i could create a regular python function and call that from T1 but then i need to create another wrapper for T2 which just calls the regular function and i wanted to avoid that extra stuff From this page <https docs flyte org projects cookbook en latest auto core flyte basics task html sphx glr auto core flyte basics task py> i read that `You can execute a Flyte task as any normal function ` maybe i took this statement a bit too liberally

Follow up question is if it is fine to do this which works fine in remote execution However giving me a `Promise object is not iterable` error when trying to execute locally

yeah i don t think you should do that sorry

Yee · Answer

tasks are not meant to call one another unless dynamic

Yee · Answer

feel free to refactor out into a pure function though and call from both
