It inherits luigi's powerful dependency management system\u2014which automatically resolves task dependencies and parallelizes execution\u2014but adds a more user-friendly interface and built-in support for common queue systems like LSF and HTCondor. The package is maintained by the Belle II Collaboration and is used in production for scientific computing workflows.\n\nYou use b2luigi by defining Task subclasses with input, output, and run methods, then letting the scheduler handle dependency resolution and execution. It works with Python 3.8 through 3.11 and depends on nine runtime packages including luigi, GitPython, jinja2, and webdavclient3. The copyleft GPLv3+ license means any derivative work must also be open source.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to schedule batch tasks on LSF or HTCondor and want a Python-native workflow tool with luigi's dependency management. The active maintenance, low install friction, and production use in Belle II make it reliable. The GPLv3+ license is a blocker only for proprietary software; open-source and internal projects are fine."},"id":"b2luigi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/b2luigi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/b2luigi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/b2luigi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"b2luigi","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"b2luigi - bringing batch 2 luigi"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":154650,"position":10848,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.9"}
