JIP pipeline library

JIP Pipeline system
===================
The JIP pipeline system is a python library and a set of command
line utilities that allows you to create batch-process based computational
pipeline that can be submitted and managed on a compute cluster or on
your local machine.

Installation
============
The `JIP documentation <http://pyjip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ contains
more detailed instructions on installation and, more importantly, configuration
of the system and your compute infrastructure. Here is the very quick guide::

$> pip install pyjip

or

$> python setup.py install

If you want to install from *pypi* or the git repository. Afterwards, you have
to create configuration file ``$HOME/.jip/jip.json`` and add the following
content::

{
"cluster": "<class_name>"
}

Replace ``<class_name>`` with the name of the class that implements support
for your compute cluster. JIP ships with the following implementations:

* ``jip.cluster.SGE`` for *Sun Grid Engine*

* ``jip.cluster.Slurm`` for *Slurm*

* ``jip.cluster.PBS`` for *PBS* and *Torque*

* ``jip.cluster.LSF`` for *Platform LSF* and *Open Lava*

* ``jip.grids.JIP`` for JIPs' internal scheduler. If you use this, make
sure to start the JIP server on the same machine using the ``jip server``
command. Please note also that you have to install *pyzmq* if you want
to run the JIP server.

Documentation
=============
`Documentation <http://pyjip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ on installation and
