Module simuPOP.sandboxΒΆ

The simuPOP sandbox can be understood as the binary version of the simuPOP cookbook. It contains experimental or specialized classes and functions that might or might not be formally adopted by simuPOP. For example, a mating scheme in which parents locate their spouses randomly but with probabilities that are related to geographic distances will be slow to implement at the Python level. It might be provided here because it relies on many assumptions such as the existence of certain information fields, and is unlikely to be adopted by simuPOP.

Because of the experiemental nature of this module, compatibility is not guaranteed for classes and functions provided in this module. If you use an operator from this module, your script might be locked to a particular version of simuPOP that provides this operator. On the other hand, if you have implemented some C/C++ level classes or functions for your own simulation, it can be a good idea to add them to this module so that they can be distributed with simuPOP (at least in certain versions of simuPOP). Please refer to the simuPOP reference manual for a list of classes and functions provided in the current version of simuPOP.
