Welcome to the PyDSTool Wiki pages. PyDSTool is an integrated simulation, modeling and analysis package for dynamical systems, written in Python. It is being developed mostly at Georgia State University, and the source code is available under the terms of the BSD license (see CodeTopics). As a research project, and being a Wiki, the software and these pages are still in development and subject to sudden changes.

Please note that PyDSTool is not a Python port of the DsTool software package.

This Wiki is meant to provide developers and users of the PyDSTool project a communal resource for discussion, documentation, and so forth.

Starting points (also see the sidebar on the page):

• MainProjectPage: the hub of the project pages

• ProjectOverview: An overview of the software

• CodeTopics: Downloading the source code and reading the license

• GettingStarted: How to install and set up the software

• Tutorial: Learning with examples.

• GoodPractice: Comments about good practice for collaboration between computational modelers and experimentalists

• ComingAttractions: Notes about features in development for upcoming versions

• RecentChanges: See where people are currently working

• FindPage: Search or browse the database in various ways

• SiteNavigation: Get an overview over this site and what it contains

• SyntaxReference: Quick access to wiki syntax (not PyDSTool syntax!)

• WikiSandBox: The safe place to experiment with editing

How to use this site

For a casual browser or new user, it is meant to be used like a regular web site.

For developers and registered users, the Wiki is a collaborative site, where content can be changed and added. You can register by clicking on Login in the side-bar, then contacting RobClewley to get write privileges.

• Edit any page by pressing Edit at the top or the bottom of the page

• Create a link to another page with joined capitalized words (like WikiSandBox) or with ["quoted words in brackets"]

• Search for page titles or text within pages using the search box at the top of any page

• See HelpForBeginners to get you going, HelpContents for all help pages.

• Note that we lack a dictionary database with which to spell check page contents. It is suggested to edit large pieces of code offline in a text editor that has spell checking, before pasting the text into the wiki editor.

To learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about WhyWikiWorks and the WikiNature. Also, consult the WikiWikiWebFaq.
