Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Mosaik API for Python

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.

Changelog
