Simulation in Python.
Project description
Scipy Simulator provides a concurrent way of modelling systems in Python using scipy. You might find it most useful for tasks involving <embedded systems> and <signal processing>. A model can be created in pure Python code - see all the examples in the models directory. Typical usage often looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python from scipysim.actors.signal import Ramp from scipysim.actors.display import Plotter from scipysim.actors import Channel, Model class RampPlot( Model ): def __init__( self ): super( RampPlot, self ).__init__() connection = Channel() src = Ramp( connection ) dst = Plotter( connection ) self.components = [src, dst] RampPlot().run()
Testing Scipy Simulator
Scipy Simulator comes with a large collection of unit tests. Before installing the library the tests can be run with setuptools:
python setup.py test
The tests can also be found in the module hierarchy and run individually:
python ./scipysim/actors/io/test_io.py
Or as a whole suite using nosetests:
nosetests
A helper script called test_scipysim.py has been placed in the scipysim module to launch nosetests:
./scipysim/test_scipysim.py
Installing Scipy Simulator
You can install scipysim to your main site-packages folder with:
sudo python setup.py install
on linux; and:
python setup.py install
on windows. To install in a more sandboxed “development” environment substitute develop for install, eg:
sudo python setup.py develop
Creating Binary Installers
Firstly to clean the obsolete .pyc or .pyo files use:
python setup.py clean –all
Generate a built distribution like so:
python setup.py bdist
On windows to make a nice pretty GUI installer:
python setup.py bdist –format wininst
Similarly a source distribution can be created with:
python setup.py sdist
