[Tutor] Genetic module recommendations?
List, I'm looking for a good genetic module. (Stable, well documented, pythonic, etc.) I'm writing a breeding simulator where users select parent organisms to breed based on traits they favor, e.g: eye color, height, etc. The human player is the fitness function. I guess this is artificial selection? After breeding the user gets an offspring which carries traits from its parents. It's only a game and a crude approximation of nature at best. However, the algorithm has to be stable enough this can go on for several hundred generations without entropy reducing to the point of haulting evolution. On the other hand, I don't want so much entropy that it's reduce to a random search. Before I write my own, I thought I'd ask to see if there was a third party, de-facto standard Python genetic module. Or at least one that is highly recommended. Any suggestions?

Not sure if it meets your needs, but you should at least check out simuPOP. On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 12:24 PM, Modulok modu...@gmail.com wrote: List, I'm looking for a good genetic module.

(Stable, well documented, pythonic, etc.) There probably is but asking on the tutor list - for beginners to Python - is less likely to find one than a request on the wider Python community at comp.lang.python. I'd try again there. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
