simulation

A simple simulation handler for Python.

Usage:

• Saving simulations in numbered subdirectories:

    with Simulation() as sim:
        # saves git state and all code files at simulation start
        # all output is logged
        pass
  
    with Simulation(suffix='name_of_this_run') as sim:
        # suffix string for numbered directory
        pass
  
    with Simulation(suffix=dict(param='value')) as sim:
        # suffix string is created from dict
        pass
  

• Saving simulations in unnumbered subdirectories:

    with Simulation(numbered=False, suffix=dict(param='value')) as sim:
        # subdirectory name is created from dict
        pass
  

• Saving data:

    with Simulation() as sim:
        print(sim.outdir)  # simulation directory
  
        sim.save_data([1, 2, 3])  # save as data.pkl
        sim.save_data([1, 2, 3], 'file_name')  # save as data_file_name.pkl
  
        # can also save to hdf5
  

• Catching SIGINT:

    with Simulation(catch_sigint=True) as sim:
        while True:
            pass
  
            if sim.received_sigint:
                break
