This book focuses on practical workflows and theory to build practical tools and pipelines within an ever changing environment using Python, PySide and duct tape ingenuity. Developing tools and pipelines for use in Film and Games is a unique challenge, where we must finely balance speed, stability, usability, and performance. Everything is always urgent, everything is always broken, and we developers are left scrambling to hold the system together while begging production for time to "do things properly" and clean up accumulated code debt. In a sense, it's like being in a pit crew; getting the driver back out there is your number one priority, sometimes with more duct tape than we care to admit. That is what this book is аbout: how to deliver better tools while facing the uphill battle of a production in full swing and hopefully retaining some semblance of sanity at the end. Python is chosen not because of its performance, but its flexibility, integrations with existing platforms, its low barrier to entry, and ease of distribution. This does not mean that Python is the “best” language, and of course you can build pipelines in other languages, but as of now, if you want to write pipelines for production then Python is a great place to start. Provided you have some experience with Python and PySide you should get along fine.
