Is it possible to define tasks inside a class (so that variables can be shared between tasks)?

[gustavs...@gmail.com]

An idea (that doesn't seem to work):

class Spark():
    @task
    def launch():
        print "launched cluster"
        self.ssh = "sshconnected"

    @task
    @needs('launch')
    def s3import():
        print "imported data from s3 to hdfs"
        print self.ssh

The reason I want to be able to do this is that I open an ssh connection in the first task, and I want the following tasks to be able to re-use the same ssh connection.

Is something like this possible?

Does paver instantiate Spark?  If so, then creating your ssh connection in def __init__(...): should work:

Thanks for the reply. I ended up using a global variable for ssh, as it was the cleanest way I could see to share variables between separate paver tasks.

since i believe you're not referring to command line options, but environ options, you can use the environment options. ex:

spark.py:

    from paver.easy import options, Bunch

    spark_config = {"abs": "trics", "gluts": "calves"}

    options(

        spark=Bunch(**spark_config)

    )

pavement.py:

    import spark

    from paver.easy import task, options

    

    @task

    def s3_put():

        print options.spark.

        

    @task

    def s3_get():

        print options.spark.
