Method Details

needs_execute(self)


Always returns True (indicating this Task should always
be executed).

Subclasses that need this behavior (as opposed to the default
of only executing Nodes that are out of date w.r.t. their
dependencies) can use this as follows:

    class MyTaskSubclass(SCons.Taskmaster.Task):
        needs_execute = SCons.Taskmaster.Task.execute_always

Overrides: Task.needs_execute
