        Call this method to execute the workflow() method overridden
        in a child class and specify the resources available for the
        workflow to run.

        Task retry behavior: Retry attempts will be made per the
        arguments below for distributed workflow runs (eg. sge run
        mode). Note this means that retries will be attempted for
        tasks with an 'isForceLocal' setting during distributed runs.

        Task error behavior: When a task error occurs the task
        manager stops submitting new tasks and allows all currently
        running tasks to complete. Note that in this case 'task error'
        means that the task could not be completed after exhausting
        attempted retries.

        Workflow exception behavior: Any exceptions thrown from the
        python code of classes derived from WorkflowRunner will be
        logged and trigger notification (e.g. email). The exception
        will not come down to the client's stack. In sub-workflows the
        exception is handled exactly like a task error (ie. task
        submission is shut-down and remaining tasks are allowed to
        complete). An exception in the master workflow will lead to
        workflow termination without waiting for currently running
        tasks to finish.

        @return: 0 if all tasks completed successfully and 1 otherwise

        @param mode: Workflow run mode. Current options are (local|sge)

        @param dataDirRoot: All workflow data is written to
                       {dataDirRoot}/pyflow.data/ These include
                       workflow/task logs, persistent task state data,
                       and summary run info. Two workflows cannot
                       simultaneously use the same dataDir.

        @param isContinue: If True, continue workflow from a previous
                      incomplete run based on the workflow data
                      files. You must use the same dataDirRoot as a
                      previous run for this to work.  Set to 'Auto' to
                      have the run continue only if the previous
                      dataDir exists.  (default: False)

        @param isForceContinue: Only used if isContinue is not False. Normally
                           when isContinue is run, the commands of
                           completed tasks are checked to ensure they
                           match. When isForceContinue is true,
                           failing this check is reduced from an error
                           to a warning

        @param nCores: Total number of cores available, or 'unlimited', sge
                  is currently configured for a maximum job count of
                  %s, any value higher than this in sge mode will be
                  reduced to the maximum.  (default: 1 for local mode,
                  %s for sge mode)

        @param memMb: Total memory available (in megabytes), or 'unlimited',
                 Note that this value will be ignored in non-local modes
                 (such as sge), because in this case total memory available
                 is expected to be known by the scheduler for each node in its
                 cluster. (default: %i*nCores for local mode, 'unlimited'
                 for sge mode)

        @param isDryRun: List the commands to be executed without running
                    them. Note that recursive and dynamic workflows
                    will potentially have to account for the fact that
                    expected files will be missing -- here 'recursive
                    workflow' refers to any workflow which uses the
                    addWorkflowTask() method, and 'dynamic workflow'
                    refers to any workflow which uses the
                    waitForTasks() method. These types of workflows
                    can query this status with the isDryRun() to make
                    accomadations.  (default: False)

        @param retryMax: Maximum number of task retries

        @param retryWait: Delay (in seconds) before resubmitting task

        @param retryWindow: Maximum time (in seconds) after the first task
                       submission in which retries are allowed. A value of
                       zero or less puts no limit on the time when retries
                       will be attempted. Retries are always allowed (up to
                       retryMax times), for failed make jobs.

        @param retryMode: Modes are 'nonlocal' and 'all'. For 'nonlocal'
                retries are not attempted in local run mode. For 'all'
                retries are attempted for any run mode. The default mode
                is 'nonolocal'.

        @param mailTo: An email address or container of email addresses. Notification
                  will be sent to each email address when
                  either (1) the run successfully completes (2) the
                  first task error occurs or (3) an unhandled
                  exception is raised. The intention is to send one
                  status message per run() indicating either success
                  or the reason for failure. This should occur for all
                  cases except a host hardware/power failure.  Note
                  that mail comes from '%s' (configurable),
                  which may be classified as junk-mail by your system.

        @param updateInterval: How often (in minutes) should pyflow log a
                          status update message summarizing the run
                          status.  Set this to zero or less to turn
                          the update off.

        @param schedulerArgList: A list of arguments can be specified to be
                            passed on to an external scheduler when non-local
                            modes are used (e.g. in sge mode you could pass
                            schedulerArgList=['-q','work.q'] to put the whole
                            pyflow job into the sge work.q queue)

        @param isQuiet: Don't write any logging output to stderr (but still write
                   log to pyflow_log.txt)

        @param warningLogFile: Replicate all warning messages to the specified file. Warning
                            messages will still appear in the standard logs, this
                            file will contain a subset of the log messages pertaining to
                            warnings only.

        @param errorLogFile: Replicate all error messages to the specified file. Error
                            messages will still appear in the standard logs, this
                            file will contain a subset of the log messages pertaining to
                            errors only. It should be empty for a successful run.

        @param successMsg: Provide a string containing a custom message which
                           will be prepended to pyflow's standard success
                           notification. This message will appear in the log
                           and any configured notifications (e.g. email). The
                           message may contain linebreaks.

        @param startFromTasks: A task label or container of task labels. Any tasks which
                               are not in this set or descendants of this set will be marked as
                               completed.
        @type startFromTasks: A single string, or set, tuple or list of strings

        @param ignoreTasksAfter: A task label or container of task labels. All descendants
                                 of these task labels will be ignored.
        @type ignoreTasksAfter: A single string, or set, tuple or list of strings

        @param resetTasks: A task label or container of task labels. These tasks and all
                           of their descendants will be reset to the "waiting" state to be re-run.
                           Note this option will only affect a workflow which has been continued
                           from a previous run. This will not override any nodes altered by the
                           startFromTasks setting in the case that both options are used together.

        Add task to workflow, including resource requirements and
        specification of dependencies. Dependency tasks must already
        exist in the workflow.

        @return: The 'label' argument is returned without modification.


        @param label: A string used to identify each task. The label must
                 be composed of only ascii letters, digits,
                 underscores and dashes (ie. /[A-Za-z0-9_-]+/). The
                 label must also be unique within the workflow, and
                 non-empty.

        @param command: The task command. Commands can be: (1) a shell
                 string (2) an iterable container of strings (argument
                 list) (3) None. In all cases strings must not contain
                 newline characters. A single string is typically used
                 for commands that require shell features (such as
                 pipes), an argument list can be used for any other
                 commands, this is often a useful way to simplify
                 quoting issues or to submit extremely long
                 commands. The default command (None), can be used to
                 create a 'checkpoint', ie. a task which does not run
                 anything, but provides a label associated with the
                 completion of a set of dependencies.

        @param cwd: Specify current working directory to use for
                 command execution. Note that if submitting the
                 command as an argument list (as opposed to a shell
                 string) the executable (arg[0]) is searched for
                 before changing the working directory, so you cannot
                 specify the executable relative to the cwd
                 setting. If submitting a shell string command this
                 restriction does not apply.

        @param env: A map of environment variables for this task, for
                 example 'env={"PATH": "/usr/bin"}'. When env is set
                 to None (the default) the environment of the pyflow
                 client process is used.

        @param nCores: Number of cpu threads required

        @param memMb: Amount of memory required (in megabytes)

        @param dependencies: A task label or container of task labels specifying all dependent
                        tasks. Dependent tasks must already exist in
                        the workflow.
        @type dependencies: A single string, or set, tuple or list of strings


        @param priority: Among all tasks which are eligible to run at
                 the same time, launch tasks with higher priority
                 first. this value can be set from[-100,100]. Note
                 that this will strongly control the order of task
                 launch on a local run, but will only control task
                 submission order to a secondary scheduler (like
                 sge). All jobs with the same priority are already
                 submitted in order from highest to lowest nCores
                 requested, so there is no need to set priorities to
                 replicate this behavior. The taskManager can start
                 executing tasks as soon as each addTask() method is
                 called, so lower-priority tasks may be launched first
                 if they are specified first in the workflow.

        @param isForceLocal: Force this task to run locally when a
	         distributed task mode is used. This can be used to
	         launch very small jobs outside of the sge queue. Note
	         that 'isForceLocal' jobs launched during a non-local
	         task mode are not subject to resource management, so
	         it is important that these represent small
	         jobs. Tasks which delete, move or touch a small
	         number of files are ideal for this setting.

        @param isCommandMakePath: If true, command is assumed to be a
                 path containing a makefile. It will be run using
                 make/qmake according to the run's mode and the task's
                 isForceLocal setting

        @param isTaskStable: If false, indicates that the task command
                 and/or dependencies may change if the run is
                 interrupted and restarted. A command marked as
                 unstable will not be checked to make sure it matches
                 its previous definition during run continuation.
                 Unstable examples: command contains a date/time, or
                 lists a set of files which are deleted at some point
                 in the workflow, etc.

        @param mutex: Provide an optional id associated with a pyflow
                 task mutex. For all tasks with the same mutex id, no more
                 than one will be run at once. Id name must follow task id
                 restrictions. Mutex ids are global across all recursively
                 invoked workflows.
                 Example use case: This feature has been added as a simpler
                 alternative to file locking, to ensure sequential, but not
                 ordered, access to a file.

        @param retryMax: The number of times this task will be retried
                 after failing. If defined, this overrides the workflow
                 retryMax value.

        @param retryWait: The number of seconds to wait before relaunching
                 a failed task. If defined, this overrides the workflow
                 retryWait value.

        @param retryWindow: The number of seconds after job submission in
                 which retries will be attempted for non-make jobs. A value of
                 zero or less causes retries to be attempted anytime after
                 job submission. If defined, this overrides the workflow
                 retryWindow value.

        @param retryMode: Modes are 'nonlocal' and 'all'. For 'nonlocal'
                retries are not attempted in local run mode. For 'all'
                retries are attempted for any run mode. If defined, this overrides
                the workflow retryMode value.
