SysDevel is a Python package that assists software development in three related areas: model development, data visualization, and collaboration and distribution. This package facilitates multi-model simulation development by implementing a generic Model-View-Controller interface. The View portion of this interface handles data visualization by unifying both web-based and desktop UI tools. For package distribution, SysDevel extends the distutils package to handle external libraries and application freezing.
