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().

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
