Modifying model parameters

Instances of fwdpy11.ModelParams are immutable. To change them, either:

• Modify the original dict

• Or, do a round trip through a temporary dict.

The first option is straightforward. Let’s see the second in action. We’ll change the simulation length.

temp_dict = params.asdict()
temp_dict["simlen"] *= 2
params = fwdpy11.ModelParams(**temp_dict)
print(params.simlen)
