learn-temporal-python-SDK VS samples-python

I hope this helps you get started with the Temporal Python SDK but if not, I’ll see you on the forum and if you’re keen to look at version 1.0 of my own poker application, feel free. For me, the next steps in learning Temporal are to dive into child workflows, signals, and queries to the poker application.

Yes, it has undergone revisions since which caused function name mismatch (we will fix). The execute_activity there uses start_to_close_timeout which is per attempt and will retry forever by default (customizable).

This is more of a primer than an explanation of all Temporal concepts in depth. Definitely would recommend reading the fundamental docs at https://docs.temporal.io/encyclopedia/. For more exact samples, see https://github.com/temporalio/samples-python.

In previous posts my colleagues dug into why we built the Python SDK, workers and workflows, but what does that look like in practice? Maybe you’re the type of person who has read the articles, perused the Developer’s Guide, taken a look at the Python SDK sample apps, and thought, “This is too much!”

Just like any other Python app, you can have an entire application in a single file, and there is a great “hello world”-esque example in our samples repo: hello_activity.py.
