if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(params_json)

Issue:
Calling Supervisor.PyOperatorManager.launch(params_json, "foo", "main") only returns :undefined instead of the tuple from transmit_report.

How is this issue resolved?

Maxximiliann OP

Fix:

def main(params_json):
    return do_stuff(params_json)

Modification:

  • Added explicit return keyword to main(params_json) method. In contrast to Elixir, return values in Python must be explicitly assigned to the return keyword or they will be discarded.

Note:

  • Python does not support hot code reloading. Because files are built as they are imported, restarting iex is required for code changes to take effect.
