Anyone should be able edit any page - it is a Wiki - and is developed by co-operative editing. This wiki is hosted on Source Forge so you do need to get yourself an account there. Then access one of these pages, drop us a line at simpy-developer at lists.sourceforge.net and we should be able to give you access to edit. We also invite you to add your name to the SimPyUsers list. The only editing rule is to be reasonable.

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, 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 2.2 (October 2011). This release included a restructured file system.

The previous version introduced a SimPy debugger which allows users to interactively step through their simulation models. Great for learning and teaching SimPy, as well as debugging! New documentation also describes the API and tools for gaining insight into and debugging SimPy models, including two tutorials showing the use of SimPy's advanced object oriented API. qVersion 2.0' (January 2009) 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.
