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 at Cornell University. As a new project, and being a Wiki, these pages are still in development and subject to sudden changes.
Download latest version
1st June 2008: Version 0.86 has been released, which is compatible with Python 2.5, Numpy 1.0.4 and Scipy 0.6.0, and includes some new features and bug fixes.
This release is primarily a compatibility release in the run-up to a major update in version 0.90.
The 0.90 release will (probably) coincide with migration to a ![[WWW]](/~rclewley/wiki/rightsidebar/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
trac-based wiki (the link currently returns here).
Look at the ComingAttractions in 0.88 that are in the late stages of development!
