Does anyone know how do we construct a python Asset or Resource within Dagster? For example, if I have a Python script on my system “foo.py”, what Dagster API can I use to turn this script into an Asset or Resource and then execute it? I am struggling with the Documentation. Thank you!

it might be best to keep it simple when getting started and just call your script from an

op

. So if you have a python script like this:

#script_to_call.py
def do_something(input_param):
    #do the thing

if __name__ == '__main__':
    do_something("here's an input")

you could call that same function from an op in a different module like this:

from script_to_call import do_something
from dagster import op, job

@op(config_schema={"input_param": str})
def do_something_op(context):
    return do_something(context.op_config["input_param"])

@job
def do_something_job():
    do_something_op()

then you can either call your job programmatically using

do_something_job.execute_in_process(run_config={"ops": {"do_something_op": {"config": {"input_param": "some-input"}}}})

or by adding your job to a

repository

and spinning up a dagit UI instance to run it from

Thank you very much, this was very helpful!
