[BangPypers] Business rule engine in Python

[Ramdas S]

Noufal,

We had and have similar requirements. I did some asking at IRC, and the
general recommendation was to write custom modules in Python or store the
rules as conditions in database tables.

We are using the second option and using ORMs its pretty easy to create what
you want, and have been shipping a pretty successful messaging solution,
which has some fairly complex business rules.

I'd suggest you to handroll one
