A Python visual Flow-Based Programming library that integrates into your existing workflow. Barfi is a Flow-Based Programming environment that provides a graphical programming interface. It is integratable into your existing Python workflows. A schema is built using barfi.Blocks. Then the schema is executed with barfi.ComputeEngine. Each barfi.Block has some properties that enable the FBP and schema building. Firstly, each Block has Input and Output interfaces that link to other Blocks. Each Block can carry an executable function, that is specified by the user. This function can access/get data from the Input interface, perform computations or calculations, and set the Output interface. In general, Barfi is an abstraction of Graphical Programming, Flow-Based Programming, or Node programming. Where the Block is synonymous to a Node, and a Link (connection) is synonymous with an Edge. There are many ways to call this, each serving a specific need or a philosophy.
