SimPy (= Simulation in Python) is an object-oriented, process-based discrete-event simulation language based on standard Python and released under the GNU LGPL (as of version 1.5.1). It provides the modeler with components of a simulation model including Processes, for active components like customers, messages, and vehicles; Resources, Levels and Stores for passive components that form limited capacity congestion points like servers, checkout counters, and tunnels; and Monitor and Tally objects for gathering statistics. Random variates are provided by the standard Python random module. A Manual, Cheatsheet, and tutorials are included in the releases.
Latest release: The latest production release of SimPy is version 2.0 (January 2009). This introduced a fully object-oriented capability for constructing models. As this is completely backward-compatible no change in current models will be needed. Also under development is a version using Python 3.0 and it is planned that both this and version 2.+ will be available for the next year or so.
