What for?
lifelib models are highly versatile and transparent. You can customize lifelib models and utilize them in various practical areas, such as:
Model validation / testing
Pricing / profit testing
Research / educational projects
Valuation / cashflow projections
Asset-liability modeling
Risk and capital modeling
Actuarial modernization to replace spreadsheet models
Why lifelib?
By effectively utilizing the models in lifelib, you can expect the following benefits from both model development and governance perspectives:
A more efficient, transparent, and faster model development experience
Model integration with the Python ecosystem (Pandas, Numpy, SciPy, etc.)
Elimination of spreadsheet errors
Improved version control and model governance
Automated model testing
Some of the models in lifelib are built using modelx, an open-source Python package for building object-oriented models in Python. By using lifelib, you can enjoy the following advantages:
Models run fast!
Formulas are easy to read
Easy to trace formula dependency and errors
Formulas are instantly evaluated
Pandas and Numpy can be utilized
Object-oriented
Input from Excel and CSV files
Documents can be integrated
Formulas are saved in text files

lifelib consists of multiple libraries. Each library may have additional requirements in addition to the above.
Development
For developers contributing to lifelib, a Makefile is provided to simplify environment setup and common development tasks.
Quick start:
make init # Set up development environment (use Git Bash or WSL if you use a Windows machine) source venv_lifelib/bin/activate # Activate virtual environment make test # Run tests
Common commands:
make help # Show all available commands make install-dev # Install with dev dependencies make test # Run tests make test-cov # Run tests with coverage report make format # Auto-format code (black, isort) make lint # Check code quality (flake8) make clean # Clean generated files
For detailed information, see devnotes/MAKEFILE.md and devnotes/TESTING.md.
