PacketStatus

class PacketStatus(Enum):
The status of a packet. The packet can be in one of the following states:
  • __INLINE_CODE_0__: The packet has been sent to a worker.
  • __INLINE_CODE_1__: The packet has been claimed by a worker and is being processed.
  • __INLINE_CODE_2__: The packet has been returned by the worker, meaning that the status of the task inside has been updated.
  • __INLINE_CODE_3__: The packet has been archived, meaning that the content of the task inside will not be changed. The task is considered as a dependency.

​

  • assignee_id (Optional[str], optional): The ID of the workforce that is assigned to the task. Would be None if the task is a dependency. Defaults to None.

TaskChannel

class TaskChannel:
An internal class used by Workforce to manage tasks. This implementation uses a hybrid data structure approach:
  • Hash map (_task_dict) for O(1) task lookup by ID
  • Status-based index (_task_by_status) for efficient filtering by status
  • Assignee/publisher queues for ordered task processing
