We’ve been working on Pydra for more about 6 months now and we’ve come a long way. So where is the project? Pydra is moving closer to a stable release, but there’s a lot to finish. We still expect to have something usable, by most people, by the end of the summer.
There are no releases yet but we’re getting ready to use it in production:
- We’re close to deploying Pydra with the Protein Geometry Project. I’ve been working bugs out of Pydra while implementing their protein data import tool. The main issues are related to the protein parser rather than Pydra itself.
- I’ve also deployed a small cluster of a few blades and other random desktop machines we had lying around. We’re throwing it at the Engine Yard Contest just to try out Pydra. The trial attempts have been good, but this was more about kicking the tires on Pydra than winning the contest.
