Python ACT-R (fork)

A Python implementation of the ACT-R cognitive architecture developed at the Carleton Cognitive Modelling (CCM) Lab.

The original pip package is called python_actr.

Fork

This fork of python_actr by Andy Maloney is not affiliated with the CCM lab.

I created it because the main repository isn't being updated and I need a stable, running version via pip for my gactar project.

Changes are noted in the CHANGELOG.

The pip package for this fork is named actr.

Compatibility

Although this pip package is named actr, it still uses python_actr as its package name.

This keeps this pip package compatible with the official python_actr one, however you should only have one of them installed at a time. As far as I can tell, there's no way to enforce this using pip, so if the python_actr package is already installed, run:

pip uninstall python_actr

Install

(Before installing, please see note above about compatibility with the python_actr package.)

pip3 install actr

Use

When writing code, you use it the same way you use the python_actr package:

from python_actr import *

To run a file, make sure the package is installed with pip (see above), then you can just run it like this:

python3 tutorials/hello_world.py

Run Tests

make test

I know there are a bunch of failures - these exist in python_actr as well & I am not planning to investigate at this time...
