pyFlow - a lightweight parallel task engine

pyFlow is a tool to manage tasks in the context of a task dependency graph. It has some similarities to make. pyFlow is not a program – it is a python module, and workflows are defined using pyFlow by writing regular python code with the pyFlow API

For more information, please see the pyFlow website.
