Activity Definitions, Activity Execution, Timeouts, Standalone Activities, and benign exceptions in the Temporal Python SDK.

Define an Activity with the activity.defn decorator, pass a single dataclass parameter, return serializable data, and set a custom Activity Type.

Call an Activity from a Python Workflow with workflow.execute_activity, set the required Timeout, and await the Activity result.

Set the Schedule-To-Close, Start-To-Close, and Heartbeat Timeouts on a Python Activity, tune its Retry Policy, and override the next retry delay.

Asynchronously complete an Activity using the Temporal Python SDK. Follow three steps for Activity completion and use the Temporal Client for Heartbeat and updates.

Mark expected or non-severe Activity errors as benign in Python to reduce noise in logs, metrics, and OpenTelemetry traces.
