Hi all,
I hope this post can be of interest to someone of you. I'm the developer of a
pipeline management system called Leaf (the Python library is called pyleaf).
While initially developed for internal use only at my dpt., we tried to make it
a decent standalone tool for everyone interested. You can find it at
www.neuronelab.dmi.unisa.it/leaf.
Briefly, a pipeline manager is basically a system that helps you automating
common tasks that arise in a pipes-and-filters processing context. That is: you
have some data and want to process them through different series of cascading
filters (python functions). Example:
/ filter1 -> filter2
data <
\ filter3
The example above is actually in Leaf language and can be exploited directly in
a Python environment thanks to the library pyleaf. Other nice pipeline managers
exist, like Ruffus, but this ASCII-art approach is peculiar to Leaf.
We use the tool on a daily basis and are quite happy with it, but feedback from
different users would be of great help to improve its stability and usability.
Pyleaf sources are available on git-hub, that also supports an issue tracker
(empty at the moment):
https://github.com/franapoli/pyleaf
Thank you very much in advance for your interest. Any feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
Francesco.
