Yabs is a build system that takes the form of a Python library.
Build systems that use Yabs are specified as a Python programme that makes calls to Yabs functions to register rules for object files, executables and other build targets. A primary aim of Yabs is to provide high-level functionality so that these programmes are shorter and easier to write than makefiles or similar.
Rules are expressed as Python functions which take a target filename and, if the rule can generate this target, return a Python tuple containing the command(s) that should be run (or a python function to be called) to create the target and a list of the target's prerequisites required by these commands. This design means that the full power of the Python language is available to the user when writing rules.
