...and what is it?

a Python implementation (by the original author) of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_(programming_language) "Lucid is a dataflow programming language designed to experiment with non-von Neumann programming models. It was designed by Bill Wadge and Ed Ashcroft and described in the 1985 book Lucid, the Dataflow Programming Language."

It's rather unfortunate that there are already two other unrelated projects called pyLucid:

  - https://github.com/jedie/PyLucid https://www.pylucid.org/en/about/
    "An Open Source web content management system written in Python using Django-CMS."
  - https://github.com/yelantingfeng/pyLucid
    "A python implementation of Lucid Data Dreaming.
    "Lucid Data Dreaming is a data augmentation technique for semi-supervised video object segmentation"
