PySCeS is a flexible, user-friendly tool for the analysis of cellular systems. For more information please see https://pysces.github.io/
Computer modelling has become an integral tool in the analysis and understanding of the reaction networks that underlie cellular processes. PySCeS, first released in 2003, is extremely flexible, user-extensible, open source, software actively used and developed by a community of researchers and developers.
PySCeS releases are available on PyPI, Anaconda.org and Github
PySCeS binaries are available for Python 3.9+ on Windows, Linux and OSX and can be installed using
PyPI
pip install pysces
Anaconda.org
conda install -c conda-forge -c pysces pysces
Building from source
PySCeS requires a Python 3 development environment as well as C++ and FORTRAN compilers to build. For more information please see the INSTALL instructions.
We currently encourage users to ask questions and request support using a GitHub issue.
General information on PySCeS can be found on the website and extensive documentation on installing, configuring and using PySCeS is available on pyscesdocs.readthedocs.io.
