Initially developed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, CLIPS is a rule-based programming language useful for creating expert and production systems where a heuristic solution is easier to implement and maintain than an imperative one. CLIPS is designed to facilitate the development of software to model human knowledge or expertise.
CLIPSPy brings CLIPS capabilities within the Python ecosystem.

Example
from clips import Environment, Symbol
environment = Environment()
# load constructs into the environment
environment.load('constructs.clp')
# assert a fact as string
environment.assert_string('(a-fact)')
# retrieve a fact template
template = environment.find_template('a-fact')
# create a new fact from the template
fact = template.new_fact()
# implied (ordered) facts are accessed as lists
fact.append(42)
fact.extend(("foo", "bar"))
# assert the fact within the environment
fact.assertit()
# retrieve another fact template
template = environment.find_template('another-fact')
fact = template.new_fact()
# template (unordered) facts are accessed as dictionaries
fact["slot-name"] = Symbol("foo")
fact.assertit()
# execute the activations in the agenda
environment.run()1 maintainer
