Hi all,
Flux 0.1.0 is out (first release).
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What is flux ?
It is a python module that provides a framework to create
workflows (actually, it is quite abstract, I use it for
workflow, maybe it can be used for other things).
- How it works ?
Wokflows are defined as graphs, with states and transitions.
Objects can be associated to workflows. Specific application
semantics is is associated to states and transitions.
- Why you did it ?
Because I was unhappy with the available solutions in Zope,
either too constrained, too complex or both.
- Which are its strong points ?
It is really simple to use, and also the implementation (less
than 200 lines, around the half are docstrings).
- Which are its weak points ?
Well, it is the first release, the API is not stable and the
documentation is weak.
- Does it provide a graphic or web interface to define the
workflow ?
No, this is a tool for developers. Of course it could be
posible to build a grapic or web interface on top of it.
- Where can I get it ?
From SorceForge, http://sf.net/projects/lleu
- What about the documentation ?
The flux.html file describes the API, it has been generated
with pydoc from the flux.py docstrings. The test.py file is
an example. It remains to do a HOWTO and maybe a document
explaining the rationale.
Regards,
