Controlling complex sequences of steps
In the Combining two applications into one recipe earlier in this chapter, 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 earlier in this chapter, we looked at ways to use Python to wrap not-necessarily-Python executable programs.
We can combine these techniques to create even more flexible processing. We can create longer, more complex sequences of operations.
Getting ready
In the Designing scripts for composition recipe in Chapter 13, Application Integration: Configuration, we created an application that did some processing that led to the creation of a rather complex result. In the Using logging for control and audit output recipe in Chapter 13, Application Integration: Configuration, we looked at a second application that built on those results to create a sophisticated statistical...
