[AIRFLOW-6817] Lazy-load `airflow.DAG` to keep user-facing API untouched by ashb · Pull Request #7517 · apache/airflow

ashb · 2020-02-23T22:50:36Z

from airflow import DAG is such a common pattern that it's worth
making sure this stays working.

Since we are now on Python 3 we can use PEP-562 to have officially
supported lazy-loading of attributes on a module.

Since the example_dags will be referred to/copied by users I have
updated them all back to import from the airflow module, but have left
any internal uses untouched.

This approach taken from Celery: https://github.com/celery/celery/blob/f2ddd894c32f642a20f03b805b97e460f4fb3b4f/celery/__init__.py#L63-L78

Probably worth some people double checking this in their IDE of choice -- I did install VSCode and PyCharm Community Edition for this, but I am not an IDE user.

Fantastic! Works like a charm in both IntelliJ and VSCode! I think we need to just make pytest understand it as well. I will also add later some more protection against importing airflow.DAG in other places than example_dags. Also I have already idea how we can significantly speed up Pylint for local pre-commits (bringing back parallelism without risking cyclic dependencies).

airflow/__init__.py

+def __getattr__(name):
+    # PEP-562: Lazy loaded attributes on python modules
+    if name == "DAG":
+        from airflow.models.dag import DAG # pylint: disable=redefined-outer-name


I think we also need to disable cyclic dependency pylint check as well (cyclic-import). I think disabling it in the first line of the file (just above the licence) will do the trick.

Worth to try but I have a feeling that this has to be disabled in all places where the cycle occurs.

Given this isn't at the top level does pylint still detect it as a cycle?

Let's see and disable it if we find we need it. I am not 100% sure -> the algorithm is quite a bit different than python import mechanism (otherwise we would not have the cyclic imports issue at all).

ashb · 2020-02-24T11:22:14Z

Oh fark, PEP-562 is only Py 3.7+

I'll conditionally pull in https://github.com/facelessuser/pep562 for py <3.7

(Hell, that might even work on Py2 if we want it to)

Fantastic! Works like a charm in both IntelliJ and VSCode! I think we need to just make pytest understand it as well.

@potiuk Do you just mean the test failures, or something else? I.e. I'm not sure what pytest needs to understand as it runs the code so doesn't need the hack.

Go ahead @ashb -> I will make pylint related changes as folow up. It's great we could do this!
