Documentation

The manual is manually generated by us via a separate project hosted on GitHub. We are attempting to make sure that the manual is current with the latest stable release of fwdpy, but that won’t always be the case.

We are attempting to have it automatically build via readthedocs, but that is proving a challenge.

Examples

Here are some examples generated using Ipython/Jupyter:

Advanced examples

These examples use Python’s built-in multiprocessing features to run simulations and synchronize writing output from multiple threads:

Extending fwdpy

A major goal of fwdpy is to make it extensible, which can be done via Python, Cython, and/or C++. The Cython option simplifies the use of C++ in writing extensions:
