Open Source A Python Project I

I started my first open source project towards the end of summer 2014 I began working at the Social Decision Analytics Laboratory at the Virginia Informatics Institutee. The project involves creating a simulation environment where we can observe how an idea or belief spreads within a social network. The initial thought was to look for and extend an agent-based model package in Python. I did manage to find the pyabm package by Alex Zvoleff, but for simplicity’s sake I wrote my own package instead of extending his existing code base.
