🚀 SimPy: discrete-event simulation in Python to model complex systems
#

SimPy is a discrete-event simulation framework built on Python that allows modeling processes like customers, vehicles, agents, or any entity that interacts over time.
Ideal for understanding how a system flows, detecting bottlenecks, and experimenting without risks.

🔍 Why it’s interesting?
#

  • 🧩 Model processes using Python generator functions.
  • ⏱️ Simulate the passage of time in a controlled way.
  • 🛠️ Includes shared resources to represent queues, servers, or congestion points.
  • ⚡ Allows running simulations as fast as the machine permits or step by step.

🧠 In short
#

Imagine you want to simulate how a shop works: customers entering, queuing, being served, and leaving.

SimPy lets you create a small virtual world where you define these behaviors and observe what happens under different scenarios.

It’s like having a digital lab to test ideas without affecting reality.
