Running from the Command Line

The prefered way to run luigi tasks is through the luigi command line tool that will be installed with the pip package.

# my_module.py, available in your sys.path
import luigi

class MyTask(luigi.Task):
    x = luigi.IntParameter()
    y = luigi.IntParameter(default=45)

    def run(self):
        print self.x + self.y

Should be run like this

$ luigi --module my_module MyTask --x 123 --y 456 --local-scheduler

Or alternatively like this:

$ python -m luigi --module my_module MyTask --x 100 --local-scheduler
