Mosaik API for Python

Note that the mosaik-api package has been superceded by the mosaik-api-v3 package and is not updated anymore.

This is an implementation of the mosaik API for simulators written in Python. It hides all the messaging and networking related stuff and provides a simple base class that you can implement.

Installation

Just use pip to install it:

$ pip install mosaik-api

Documentation

Please refer to mosaik’s documentation of the API.

Example Simulator

This distribution contains an example simulator in the example_sim package.

It can be started via the pyexamplesim command; pyexamplesim --help shows you how to use it.

It can also be run in-process by importing and calling example_sim.mosaik.main().

Example MAS

This distribution contains an example “multi-agent system” that uses the asyncronous remote calls to mosaik (get_progress(), get_related_entities(), get_data(), set_data()).

It can be started via the pyexamplemas command; pyexamplemas --help shows you how to use it.

It can also be run in-process by importing and calling example_mas.mosaik.main().

Development setup

To setup a devleopment environment, create a virtualenv and install the packages from requirements.txt:

$ mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 mosaik-api-python
(mosaik-api-python)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the tests for the Python version you are currently using, execute py.test. You should also add the test coverage check:

(mosaik-api-python)$ py.test --cov=example_mas --cov=example_sim --cov=mosaik_api

To run the tests for all supported Python versions, run tox:

(mosaik-api-python)$ tox

Mosaik’s documentation contains more details.
