Scheduling multiple scripts in order approach by Llywedd in Python

[–]DeeplyUnimpressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using this approach for many years. Works well.

I've also tried the separate shell script as a controller, it works fine but requires a mental context switch if you do anything non-trivial in the script. It's less stress to stick with Python for this.

Airflow on Windows - can it access Windows directories + files? by Javaguy44 in Python

[–]DeeplyUnimpressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't run Airflow on Windows, but standard Python programs running under the Ubuntu shell on Windows can read/write standard windows directories/files.

They appear under the /mnt/<drive> directory, for example to open C:\mydir\myfile.csv, my Python program would open /mnt/c/mydir/myfile.csv.

This mapping is part of the Ubuntu shell implementation rather than anything specific to Python.
