ANN: ActivePapers for Python

[Konrad Hinsen]

Now that h5py 2.2 is out, I'd like to make a first announcement of my
ActivePapers framework, initially to the people who are in the best
position to use it: h5py users.

ActivePapers is a framework for doing reproducible research in Python.
An ActivePaper is an HDF5 file containing all scripts and datasets for
a project, with integrated and automated dependency tracking. The
file can be moved around between different computers and different
users, and in the end it can be published as supplementary material to
a publication.

Since all data is stored in an HDF5 file, the scripts in an ActivePaper
need to use h5py, which is why h5py users have a headstart.

For more information, and for downloading the code, see:

https://bitbucket.org/khinsen/active_papers_py/wiki/Home

Any feedback is welcome.

Konrad.

Looks very cool! Where did the inspiration for this come from? Is it
supported by a specific research grant?

It's a side project I have been working on for a while. A more complete
story is on my Web site:

I can't say this has been directly supported by a grant, but I have
re-interpreted a grant to make it fit in ;-)
