Bonobo is an extract-transform-load toolkit for python 3.5+, that use regular python functions, generators and iterators
as input.
By default, it uses a thread pool to execute all code, and pass outputs to the next callable in the graph using a FIFO
queue, allowing the user to forget about what is blocking, not blocking, long, etc. It's lean manufacturing for data.
By default, it uses a thread pool to execute all functions in parallel, and handle the movement of data rows in the
directed graph using simple fifo queues.
It allows the user to focus on the content of the transformations, and not optimizing blocking or long operations, nor
thinking about threads or subprocesses.
It's lean manufacturing for data.
.. note::
This is NOT a «big data» tool. We process around 5 millions database lines in around 1 hour with rdc.etl, bonobo
ancestor (algorithms are the same, we still need to run a bit of benchmarks).
Can a graph contain another graph?

got about the project is somehow related to primates taxonomy, I'll make a special effort as soon as I can on this
topic.
Or maybe, I can use one of the comments as an answer: python not only has duck typing; it has the little known primate
typing feature.

Who is behind this?
-------------------
Me (as an individual), and a few great people that helped me along the way. Not commercially endorsed, or supported.
The code, documentation, and surrounding material is created using spare time.

Documentation seriously lacks X, there is a problem in Y...
