## Build durable multi-step applications in Python with Workflows (now in beta)

Aug 22, 2025 

[ Workflows ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/)[ Workers ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) 

You can now build [Workflows](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/) using Python. With Python Workflows, you get automatic retries, state persistence, and the ability to run multi-step operations that can span minutes, hours, or weeks using Python’s familiar syntax and the [Python Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/) runtime.

Python Workflows use the same step-based execution model as JavaScript Workflows, but with Python syntax and access to Python’s ecosystem. Python Workflows also enable [DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) workflows](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/python/dag/), where you can define complex dependencies between steps using the depends parameter.

Here’s a simple example:

Python

```
from workers import Response, WorkflowEntrypoint
class PythonWorkflowStarter(WorkflowEntrypoint):    async def run(self, event, step):        @step.do("my first step")        async def my_first_step():            # do some work            return "Hello Python!"
        await my_first_step()
        await step.sleep("my-sleep-step", "10 seconds")
        @step.do("my second step")        async def my_second_step():            # do some more work            return "Hello again!"
        await my_second_step()
class Default(WorkerEntrypoint):    async def fetch(self, request):        await self.env.MY_WORKFLOW.create()        return Response("Hello Workflow creation!")
```

Note

Python Workflows requires a `compatibility_date = "2025-08-01"`, or lower, in your wrangler toml file.

Python Workflows support the same core capabilities as JavaScript Workflows, including sleep scheduling, event-driven workflows, and built-in error handling with configurable retry policies.

To learn more and get started, refer to [Python Workflows documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/python/).
