[TRI-1882] Python support #862

Open matt-aitken opened 7 months ago

matt-aitken commented 7 months ago

It would be great to offer support for Python.

Python has better support for many Machine Learning uses cases:

Many ML libraries are only Python, or more complete in Python
Some services have ML models that only work from Python (e.g. OpenAI's whisper model)
Data Science and Engineering tools like pandas

It would be even better if you could mix languages. Have files alongside each other that are different languages but can declare tasks.

Hey Matt, I'd love to use trigger.dev with Python! Any idea when this might happen?

Having this would be great! I want to do a job to run https://github.com/joshiayush/inb automatically and trigger.dev would be a great option if it offers support for Python.
