Pymote3 0.2.3

A high-level Python library for simulation of distributed algorithms.

Pymote3

Pymote3 is a Python package for event based simulation and evaluation of distributed algorithms.

Definition of distributed environment used as specifications for making Pymote3 are taken mainly from Design and Analysis of Distributed Algorithms by Nicola Santoro.

Pymote3’s main goal is to provide framework for fast implementation and simulation of distributed algorithms. In its current initial state it is mainly targeted at algorithms for wireless (sensor) networks but it could be applied to any distributed computing environment (e.g., distributed systems, grid networks, internet, etc.).

Pymote3 is being developed on top of NetworkX and is ment to be used along other scientific packages such as SciPy, NumPy and matplotlib. Currently, gui runs on PySide (Qt bindings) and console is jazzy IPython.
