This package contains methods for modelling the Universe, galaxies and the Milky Way. SkyPy simulates populations of astronomical objects, generating random realisations of intrinsic and observed properties, with the intention the simulations can then be compared to data as part of an inference pipeline.
Currently, SkyPy implements the following modules:
Galaxies: morphology, luminosity and redshift distributions
Pipelines to generate populations of astronomical objects
The full list of features can be found in the SkyPy Documentation.
For more information on the people involved and how SkyPy is developed, please visit the SkyPy Collaboration website: http://skypyproject.org

Installation
SkyPy releases are distributed through PyPI and conda-forge. Instructions for installing SkyPy and its dependencies can be found in the Installation section of the documentation.
Examples
SkyPy has a driver script that can run simulation pipelines from the command line. The documentation contains a description of the Pipeline module and Examples that demonstrate how to use it.
