TL;DR: Nipype solves issues by providing Interfaces to existing neuroimaging software with uniform usage semantics and by facilitating interaction between these packages using Workflows, and provides an environment that encourages interactive exploration of algorithms, eases the design of Workflows within and between packages, and reduces the learning Curve.

TL;DR: Neuroimaging in Python: Pipelines and interfaces as discussed by the authors is an open-source, community-developed, software package and scriptable library for neuroimaging analysis using Python.
