H.2 The task_yourtask.py file

You must write the python code that does the actual work. The task_*.py file function call sequence must be the same as specified in the XML file. We may relax the requirement that the function call sequence exactly match the sequence in the XML file in a future release.

The task_*.py file should contain the following preamble

import os
from taskinit import *

plus any other global function imports you will need such as

import time

followed by the task function def. See Sect. H.3.2 for an example.
