Description
Bender, the Python based physics analysis application for LHCb combines the best
features of underlying Gaudi C++ software architecture with the flexibility of Python
scripting language and provides end-users with friendly physics analysis oriented
environment. It is based in one hand, on the generic Python bindings for the Gaudi
framework, called GaudiPython, and in the other hand on an efficient C++ physics
analysis toolkit called LoKi. Bender and LoKi use the tools from the physics analysis
framework, called DaVinci. Bender achieves a clear separation between the technical
details and the physical contents of end-user physicist's code. The usage of Python,
AIDA abstract interfaces and standard LCG reflection techniques allows an easy
integration of Bender's analysis environment with third party products like the
interactive event display and visualization tools like Panoramix/LaJoconde, ROOT and
HippoDraw. We'll present the overall design and capabilities of the system, its
status and prospects.
