Dynamic Modules

The Python Scripting package allows you to define dynamic modules at runtime. This is useful if you need to isolate specific scripts, or keep track of state variables evolving independently in different parts of the workflow.

To create a new module, you can use the CreateModule operator together with a ResourceSubject:

Warning

Make sure to always pair the CreateModule operator together with a ResourceSubject to ensure that your module is correctly destroyed when your workflow terminates.

Once the module is declared, you can now pass it to any of your Python operators to make sure they run their code in the correct scope:

Tip

You can think of modules as "objects", as they encapsulate all their state variables inside a unique Python scope.

Warning

If you do not provide a specific module for a Python scripting operator to run in, it will always run in the global Python main module.
