I needed a sort of 'make' tool to glue things together and after trying out all kinds, doit ... has actually turned out to be beautiful. Its easy to add and manage tasks, even complex ones-- gluing things together with decorators and 'library' functions I've written to do certain similar things. - `Matthew <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/python-doit/eKI0uu02ZeY/cBU0RRsO0_cJ>`_

Some time ago, I grew frustrated with Make and Ant and started porting my build files to every build tool I found (SCons, Waf, etc.). Each time, as soon as I stepped out of already available rules, I ran into some difficult to overcome stumbling blocks. Then I discovered this little gem of simplicity: doit. It's Python-based. It doesn't try to be smart, it does not try to be cool, it just works. If you are looking for a flexible little build tool for different languages and tasks, give it a chance. My build files weren't that big or complex, therefore I don't know how well it scales, and I wouldn't recommend it as a replacement for more complex build tools like Maven either. - `lelele <http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=python-doit.sourceforge.net&start=0>`_
