I’m currently working on Beecoop admin tool that would allow me to create trac projects quickly and easily.

I’d like to write about Beecoop admin, but that’s not the point here.

In process of looking for information on iPython parallel processing, I came across a tutorial on how to visually manage processes with Vision.Vision is the tool that the presenter is using.

According to Vision website – “Vision is a visual-programming environment in which a user can interactively build networks describing novel combinations of computational methods, and yielding new visualizations of their data without actually writing code.”

Here is how I read this:
Vision is a visual-programming environment in which a user can interactively build data processing applications from reusable pieces of code.

Vision was created to manipulate molecule modes, but I think the applications are vast. For example, you could use it to manipulate information in multiple rss feeds, very similar to how Yahoo Pipes works, but you can also write your own processing functions in python.

It would be very cool to try to represent visually business processes. Once this is done, expend on these processes by implementing hooks into APIs of various web services.

I need to think about this later and I’ll write part 2 to this post later.

Back to work now,
