What is Bender?

Bender is the LHCb Python-based Physics Analysis Environment. It combines the physics content of DaVinci/Phys/Analysis/Hlt/Rec/Lbcom projects with the interactive python abilities provided by GaudiPython package. It also could be considered as "Interactive LoKi". Bender is organized as a CMT project. Top-level python modules reside in Phys/Bender package which collects the necessary functionality. The major functionality comes from ROOT/Reflex dictionaries for basic C++ classes and interfaces. These dictionaries are used primary for POOL persistency and reused fro the interactivity. The main purpose of top-level modules and scripts is the coherent orchestration of the Reflex dictionaries and the proper  decoration of the available interfaces.
