Mr. Graph – A graph definition and execution library for Python

What: Mr. Graph is a python library designed to make composing graphs of sync and async functions easy! Use google style docstrings to automagically create dataclasses and chain together function calls into graphs. Why: I like the design of Dagster, but not the latency. For apps and systems engineering, sometimes I want to compose a graph out of regular python functions. I don;t need all the heavy machinery that comes with a full workflow engine. Current features: - Use with either async or sync functions - Uses google style doc strings to name return values. - Creates dataclasses for each…

In plain words

Mr. Graph is a Python library for composing graphs of synchronous and asynchronous functions. It uses Google-style docstrings to automatically generate dataclasses and chain function calls into directed acyclic graphs. The library supports linear, fan-in, and fan-out layouts while inferring pipelines from function signatures. It is designed for developers and systems engineers who need lightweight function composition without the overhead of full workflow orchestration engines.

From the sources

Mr. Graph is a python library designed to make composing graphs of sync and async functions easy! The purpose of Mr. Graph is to provide an efficient graph processing library for I/O bound functions. All blocking calls are ran in their own threads, and are executed concurrently with async functions. As these functions return their results, downstream functions are executed when their dependencies are done being computed. Return values are always wrapped in dataclasses whose names and types are specified using docstrings on the functions. This project might be useful for you if you have a graph of API calls to make which depend on each other. Mr. Graph is new and under active development.…from mr-graph.readthedocs.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
