SimPy

Scope

Use this skill for process-based discrete-event models where active entities yield events and contend for resources: queues, production systems, logistics, networks, service operations, inventory, and other event-driven systems.

SimPy supplies an event scheduler and modeling primitives. It does not choose a scientifically valid conceptual model, input distribution, warm-up, run length, replication count, estimand, or causal interpretation. Treat those as simulation-study methodology, not SimPy API behavior.

Current release and installation

Verified 2026-07-23:

• Latest stable: SimPy 4.1.2, released on PyPI 2026-05-24; source tag 4.1.2 points to commit f4381649.
• Package metadata requires Python >=3.8 and classifies CPython 3.8-3.14 plus PyPy. SimPy has no runtime dependencies.
• 4.1.2 adds Python 3.13/3.14 support and modern-interpreter test fixes.
• Upstream and this skill are MIT-licensed.

Create a reproducible environment:

uv venv --python 3.13
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install "simpy==4.1.2"
python -c "import importlib.metadata; print(importlib.metadata.version('simpy'))"
