        This framework allows you to automate your computational pipelines.
        ``automan`` is open source and distributed under the terms of the 3-clause BSD
        license.
        
        Features
        --------
        
        It is designed to automate the drudge work of managing many numerical
        simulations. As an automation framework it does the following:
        
        - helps you organize your simulations.
        - helps you orchestrate running simulations and then post-processing the
          results from these.
        - helps you reuse code for the post processing of your simulation data.
        - execute all your simulations and post-processing with one command.
        - optionally distribute your simulations among other computers on your
          network.
        
        This greatly facilitates reproducibility. Automan is written in pure Python
        and is easy to install.
        
        
        Installation
        -------------
        
        You should be able to install automan using pip_ as::
        
          $ pip install automan
        
        If you want to run on the bleeding edge, you may also clone this repository,
        change directory into the created directory and run either::
        
          $ python setup.py install
        
        or::
        
          $ python setup.py develop
        
        
        .. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/
        
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        Documentation for this project is available at https://automan.rtfd.io
        
        There is a paper on ``automan`` that motivates and describes the software:
        
        - Prabhu Ramachandran, "automan: A Python-Based Automation Framework for
          Numerical Computing," in Computing in Science & Engineering, vol. 20, no. 5,
          pp. 81-97, 2018. `doi:10.1109/MCSE.2018.05329818
          <http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MCSE.2018.05329818>`_
        
        A draft of this paper is available here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.04786
        
        To see a complete example of a research publication using this framework, see
        here: https://gitlab.com/prabhu/edac_sph
        
        The ``README.rst`` in that repository documents how to set everything up. The
        scripts to look at are in ``common.py`` and ``automate.py``.
        
        A simpler example project which uses automan is here:

        The package name
        ----------------
        
        The name automan comes from an old serial with the same name.  Most
        other names were taken on pypi.
