[bip] ETL in Python? (Informatica vs. SnapLogic)

[Kumar McMillan]

Hi folks.

I figure people doing bioinformatics are using patterns similar to ETL
(Extract, Transform, and Load) for data crunching, no?

If so, has anyone tried using the open source Python clone of
Informatica, SnapLogic?

I just found about it at PyCon and it sounds very promising as
Informatica is conceptually a very nice product.  And a very pricey
one!
