Project Documentation Project documentation is available here: http://www.ruffus.org.uk Ruffus is a Computation Pipeline library for python. It is open-sourced, powerful and user-friendly, and widely used in bioinformatics for managing dependencies in parallel workflows. The Ruffus provides automatic support for Managing dependencies Parallel jobs Re-starting from arbitrary points, especially after errors Display of the pipeline as a flowchart Reporting Computational pipelines are often conceptually quite simple, especially if we breakdown the process into simple stages, or separate tasks. Each stage or task in a computational pipeline is represented by a python function. Each python function can be called in parallel to run multiple jobs. It was originally written for scientific research (bioinformatics/
