:SimPy version: 1.5

:SimPy web-site: http://simpy.sourceforge.net/

SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation language based on standard Python and released under the GNU GPL.

It provides the modeller with components of a simulation model. These include processes, for active components like customers, messages, and vehicles, and resources, for passive components that form limited capacity congestion points like servers, checkout counters, and tunnels. It also provides monitor variables to aid in gathering statistics.

SimPy can be downloaded from the "SimPy web-site": http://simpy.sourceforge.net.

Simulation model developers are encouraged to share their SimPy modeling techniques with the SimPy community. Please post a message to the simpy-Users mailing list.

Subscribe to simpy-users mailing list.

Software developers are encouraged to interface SimPy with other Python-accessible packages, such as GUI, data base or mapping and to share these new capabilities with the community under the GNU GPL.

Feature requests for future SimPy versions should be sent to Klaus G. Muller, or Tony Vignaux.

SimPy-1.5 contains the following files:

  • README.txt - This file HISTORY.txt - a history of releases INSTALLATION.txt - a simple installation guide COMPATIBILITY.txt - a statement on SimPy compatibility with other Python modules/packages CHANGES_FROM_VERSION_1_4.txt - a high level description of differences between versions 1.4.x and 1.5. * SimPy - Python code directory for the SimPy-1.5 package

    • Lister.py, a prettyprinter for class instances - Simulation.py, code for SimPy simulation - SimulationTrace.py, code for SimPy tracing - SimulationStep.py, code for executing simulations event-by-event - SimulationRT.py, code for synchronizing simulation time with wallclock time - SimGui.py, code for generating a Tk-based GUI for SimPy simulations - SimPlot.py, code for generating Tk-based plots (screen and Postscript) - __init__.py, initialisation of SimPy package - testSimPy.py, a unit test script for SimPy

  • SimPyDocs - a directory containing copies of

    • the Cheatsheet (html, reST), - the Manual (html, reST) - the SimulationTrace manual - the SimulationRT manual - the SimulationStep manual - the Interfacing manual (html). - a sub-directory "Bank" with a tutorial (html, tex) - a sub-directory "SimGUI" with the SimGUI manual and examples - a sub-directory "SimPlot" with the SimPlot manual and examples - a sub-directory "SimPy_Sourcecode_Documentation", browseable (HTML) documentation of all SimPy code.

  • SimPyModels - some SimPy models GPL - GNU General public Licence setup.py - setup script (distutils)
