Professionals in science and bioinformatics seeking a computation pipeline library solution
About ruffus
Ruffus is a computation pipeline library for python. It is open-sourced, powerful and user-friendly, and widely used in science and bioinformatics. Ruffus is designed to allow scientific and other analyses to be automated with the minimum of fuss and the least effort. Suitable for the simplest of tasks. Handles even fiendishly complicated pipelines which would cause make or scons to go cross-eyed and recursive. No "clever magic", no pre-processing. Unambitious, the lightweight syntax which tries to do this one small thing well. Ruffus is available under the permissive MIT free software license. This permits free use and inclusion even within proprietary software. It is good practice to run your pipeline in a temporary, “working” directory away from your original data. Ruffus is a lightweight python module for building computational pipelines. Ruffus requires Python 2.6 or higher or Python 3.0 or higher.

imageio
Imageio is a Python library that provides an easy interface to read and write a wide range of image data, including animated images, volumetric data, and scientific formats. It is cross-platform, runs on Python 3.5+, and is easy to install. Imageio is written in pure Python, so installation is easy. Imageio works on Python 3.5+. It also works on Pypy. Imageio depends on Numpy and Pillow. For some formats, imageio needs additional libraries/executables (e.g. ffmpeg), which imageio helps you to download/install. If something doesn’t work as it should, you need to know where to search for causes. The overview on this page aims to help you in this regard by giving you an idea of how things work, and - hence - where things may go sideways.
