Poietic Python

NOTE: THIS PROJECT WAS EXPERIMENTAL AND HAS BEEN ARCHIVED. PRESERVED FOR REFERENCE AND CURIOSITY.

---

Toolikt and a library for developing interactive applications to support creative modelling and experimentation process of the user.

Suitable for:

• Modelling and simulation applications where the domain model is represented as a graph.
• Allowing the user to experiment with the creation, move back in time, compare different versions of the creation.

Feature highlights:

• Object model that supports versioning (undo/redo, time machine).
• Graph representation of the model.
• Custom domain/application specific meta-models.
• Transparent storage model with focus on repairability by available tooling and for durability.

Included and planned problem domains:

• Stocks and Flows, including simulator/solver
• Causal Maps (planned)

Let's see what this will turn into.

Requirements

Developed using Python 3.11.

• Click

Development

• MyPy.

Testing:

python -m unittest discover -s test

Documentation

The documentation is created using Sphinx.

To build the documentation:

cd docs
make html

The documentation will be created in the _build/html directory.

Development Note

• Technical debt is marked with TODO or FIXME (serious)
• Trying not to use too advanced python features, so that the code can be understood by non-advanced python developers as well as it would be possible to rewrite the library into another programming language(s).
