I'm in the process of developing a task engine / workflow module for

code that could be used or adapted. Since I know that's far too
generic a question, let me share my goals:
1) Support long running operations (think backing up millions of
files) where:
- The operation can be paused (application closed) and the
operation resumed later.
- Individual tasks can be chained, run in parallel, or looped over
(the workflow part)

We have something like that in OIE (OpenGroupware Integration Engine).
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/coils/>.

I'll take a look at the project. At the very least, seeing someone
else's solution would be helpful. I'm trying desperately hard to keep
the code simple :-)

You might also want to look at Celery[1] which may do some (if not all) of what you're looking for.
