Pipelet is a free framework to handle the creation, execution and
browsing of scientific data processing pipelines. It provides:

 + easy chaining of interdependent elementary tasks,
 + web access to data products,
 + branch handling,
 + automated distribution of computational tasks.

Both engine and web interface are written in Python. 

.. As Pipelet is all about chaining processing written in Python or using Python as a glue language, prior knowledge of this language is required.
