Controlling complex sequences of steps

In the Combining two applications into one recipe, we looked at ways to combine multiple Python scripts into a single, longer, more complex operation. In the Wrapping and combining CLI applications and Wrapping a program and checking the output recipes, we looked at ways to use Python to wrap non-Python programs.

How can we combine these techniques effectively? Can we create longer, more complex sequences of operations using Python?

Getting ready

In the Designing scripts for composition recipe, we created application that did some processing that lead to the creation of a rather complex result. In the Using logging for control and audit output recipe, we looked at a second application...
