Features

• Pickle-able population objects
• Parallel computation via multiprocessing or concurrent.futures.
• Custom temporal samplers to analyze populations during a simulation may be written in pure Python.
• Flexible interface for simulating models with multiple populations.

Supported Python version

fwdpy11 is written for Python 3. We will not modify the package to be compatible with Python 2.7.

Dependencies and installation

These topics are covered in the user manual:

• People wishing to run fwpdy11 should see this section <https://molpopgen.github.io/fwdpy11/pages/userenv.html>_.
• Those who need to build the package from source should look the developer's guide <https://molpopgen.github.io/fwdpy11/misc/developersguide.html>_.
