Nipype

Nipype (Neuroimaging in Python Pipelines and Interfaces) is a flexible, lightweight and extensible neuroimaging data processing framework in Python. It is a community-developed initiative under the umbrella of Nipy. It addresses the heterogeneous collection of specialized applications in neuroimaging: SPM in MATLAB, FSL in shell, and Nipy in Python. A uniform interface is proposed to facilitate interaction between these different packages within a single workflow.

The source code, issues and pull requests can be found here.

Pydra is a part of the second generation of the Nipype ecosystem, which is meant to provide additional flexibility and reproducibility. Pydra rewrites Nipype engine with mapping and joining as first-class operations.

Nipype has an OAR plugin here. However, Pydra does not have OAR Support. Examples and details of Pydra's OAR extension can be found here.
