Welcome
| Ruffus is designed to allow scientific and other analyses to be automated with the minimum of fuss and the least effort. These are Ruffus's strengths: Lightweight: Suitable for the simplest of tasks Scalable: Handles even fiendishly complicated pipelines which would cause make or scons to go cross-eyed and recursive. Standard python: No "clever magic", no pre-processing. Unintrusive: Unambitious, lightweight syntax which tries to do this one small thing well. Please join me (email: ruffus_lib at llew.org.uk) in setting the direction of this project if you are interested. |  |
