[Jython-users] Q: Lisp-Python and genetci programming in Python

[L. H. <hu...@ha...>]

Hi,

asked if there is any software in Python to do genetic programming
...
I wrote (at 10. March 2001):
lh> There are someone working on genetic programming in Python,
lh> but I don't know, who.

Looking for some other file I found it again and want you to know it.

from the
__init__.py
of
Gatspy

# A simple and flexible genetic algorithm system for Python.
# Gatspy evolves a population of potential numerical solutions
# to a problem.  Members evolve (hopefully) toward a "good" solution.
#
# The problem to be solved is determined by the user (you!).
# A genetic algorithm requires a fitness evaluation function to
# determine the relative fitness of one member over another.
# A lower fitness value is better (reducing the error),
# so work your math to produce fitness values appropriately.

#               Complete software overhaul.  Created Gatspy
#               module and Member and Population classes.
#               More classes to come as features increase.
