As you have already seen, ecFlow has a ecFlow Python Api: (for both python2 and python3)
import ecflow
This allows the suite definition to be built with python.
It also allows communication with the ecflow_server.
This is a very powerful feature, that helps to define very complex suites in a relatively compact way.

suite test
family f1
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f2
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f3
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f4
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e

family f5
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily
family f6
task a
task b
task c
task d
task e
endfamily

The following will do the trick:
