DEVSimPy is an open Source project (under GPL V.3 license) supported by the [SPE](http://http://spe.univ-corse.fr/) (Sciences pour l'Environnement) team of the UMR CNRS 6134 Lab. of the [University of Corsica "Pasquale Paoli"](http://univ-corse.fr). This aim is to provide a GUI for the Modeling & Simulation of PyDEVS and [PyPDEVS](http://msdl.cs.mcgill.ca/projects/DEVS/PythonPDEVS) models. PyDEVS is an API allowing the implementation of the DEVS formalism in Python language. PyPDEVS is the parallel version of PyDEVS based on Parallel DEVS formalism which is an extension of the DEVS formalism. The DEVSimPy environment has been developed in Python with the [wxPython](http://www.wxpython.org) graphical library without strong dependencies other than the [Scipy](http://www.scipy.org) and the [Numpy](http://www.numpy.org) scientific python libraries. The basic idea behind DEVSimPy is to wrap the PyDEVS API with a GUI allowing significant simplification of handling PyDEVS/PyPDEVS models (like the coupling between models or their storage into libraries).

The use of DEVSimPy requires:

• Python version 3.7+
• wxPython version 4.0+
• Scipy and Numpy (optional, for spectrum analysis)
• DEVSimPy should be used like a normal Python file, i.e., double-clicking on the devsimpy.py file which is located in the root directory or writing python devismpy.py into a python console.

Users which don't want to install python with all dependency can use Portable Python (version 2.x). Then, just extract DEVSimPy archive and edit the devsimpy.py file with PyScripter to execute it. Users can also execute DEVSimPy through the conda env file loaded using the conda_devsimpy_env.yml file (available from the DEVSimPy-site repository).

With DEVSimPy you can:

• Model a DEVS system and save or export it into a library
• Edit the code of DEVS model to modify behavior's also during the simulation
• Import existing library of models (python code or DEVSimPy specific models) which allows the specific domain modeling (Power system, continuous, etc)
• Automatically simulate the system and perform its analysis during the simulation (with the suspend option)
• Load plug-ins to extend DEVSimPy in order to perform activity tracking, trace the simulation with visual tools, etc.
• Generate YAML models for the DEVSimPy-mob mobile application.
• and more.

To get DEVSimPy V4.0 package with all Git submodule:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules -b version-4.0 --depth=1 https://github.com/capocchi/DEVSimPy.git .
$ git fetch --unshallow 

DEVSimPy depends on PyPubSub version 3.3.0 (or 3.3.1), pyyaml, ruamel.yaml and modules. All dependencies can be installed using requirements.txt file:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

DEVSimPy don't require installation and works on all platforms (). To execute DEVSimPy:

$ python devsimpy.py
