Installation

You can easily install PythonPDEVS with the following command.

cd src
python setup.py install --user

Performance

For optimal performance results, we recommend the use of PyPy.

By default, PythonPDEVS is optimized for distributed simulation, therefore doing a lot of additional bookkeeping. For optimal performance in local simulations, we recommend the use of the minimal simulation kernel instead: just update all imports from

frompypdevs.simulatorimportSimulatorfrompypdevs.DEVSimportAtomicDEVS, CoupledDEVS

to

frompypdevs.minimalimportSimulatorfrompypdevs.minimalimportAtomicDEVS, CoupledDEVS

Note that this disables many features.

Distributed simulation (optional)

To use distributed simulation capabilities, run the script install_mpi4py.sh to install the necessary MPI library and bindings.

Documentation

Detailed documentation of the installation and use of PythonPDEVS can be found in the PythonPDEVS documentation.
