An increasing number of large scale scientific workflow applications are expressed or managed using the Python language. Such workflows consist of large graphs of complex tasks combining data gathering, data processing, simulation, training, inference, validation, and visualization. While there have been many successes, large scale deployments still encounter many barriers due to the need to integrate many different technologies: applications, workflow systems, software environments, cluster technologies, interactive notebooks, visualization systems, and more. The POSE-HARMONY Project seeks to "harmonize" common practices surrounding Python-based workflows, considering issues such as workflow management, technology integration, software deployment, building and testing, documentation, and other matters of common concern. This workshop will be organized in an interactive manner to enable participants to collectively define the common space of challenges in Python workflow deployment, propose resources and solutions of common interest, and point the way towards a common open source ecosystem.
