[BioPython] biopython integration with make-like tools (e.g. waf, paver)

[Giovanni Marco Dall'Olio]

Hi,
a general question.

Are you used to organize your python/biopython scripts in pipelines or
workflows?
For example, many people use automatic build tools like 'make' to
organize their scientific scripts.
Let's say you want to study the structure of a protein from pdb. I
would create a script to download it from pdb.org, one to parse its
format, and others to do the analysis; then, I would write a Makefile
to put everything together.

I noticed that there are already some tools to do automated builds
written in python.
I have asked in some lists and, apart from scons, they suggested me these:
- http://www.blueskyonmars.com/projects/paver (paver)
- http://code.google.com/p/waf/ (waf)

So, do you know these tools? Do you have any special recommendation to
integrate them with biopython?
