Airflow using template files for PythonOperator

Question

The method of getting a BashOperator or SqlOperator to pick up an external file for its template is somewhat clearly documented, but looking at the Pyt

Answer 1

I don't think this is really possible. But the following workaround might be helpful:

def templated_function(ds, **kwargs):
    kwargs['ds'] = ds                                # put ds into 'context'
    task = kwargs['task']                            # get handle on task
    templ = open(kwargs['templates_dict']['file1']).read() # get template
    sql = task.render_template('', tmpl, kwargs)           # render it
    pp.pprint(sql)

Would love a better solution, though!
