Ryven is a Qt-based visual node editor and framework for flow-based visual scripting in Python, letting users build dataflow graphs from custom nodes that execute arbitrary Python code. It includes a headless mode for running graphs without the GUI and is built on the ryvencore backend library.

Use cases

• build dataflow graphs visually in python
• create custom nodes that run python code
• prototype data processing pipelines with a node editor
• run visual scripting graphs headlessly without a gui
• explore flow-based programming in python
• integrate a node editor into another python application

When to choose

• you want a flexible, hackable node editor for python-based dataflow scripting
• you need a headless mode to execute graphs without a gui
• you want to develop your own node packages on a simple framework
• you prefer diagram-like dataflow representations over plain source code

When to avoid

• you need a professionally supported, actively developed tool - the maintainer has limited time and updates are minimal
• you want to learn conventional python programming - this is not a teaching tool
• you expect automatic graph generation from existing code
• you need stable built-in example nodes to depend on in production
