Approximately ten years ago the original DsTool package was written here at Cornell, and has provided many years of functionality to the applied mathematics community. It is now supported here. We have decided to write a new package from the ground up, as our concept of what is needed in our community has evolved. PyDSTool does not rely on a graphical user interface and does not offer the same functionality as DsTool. Our new project is different from existing approaches because it attempts to combine a large array of tools under one, centralized umbrella. We wish to support both straightforward simulation tools, such as numerical integrators of differential equations, and sophisticated analysis tools such as continuators and parameter estimation / sensitivity tools.
