My understanding is that repastpy is an environment that can be created from repast in which Python-like code is used to create agents, behaviors, etc. I would like to use repastpy because my Java knowledge is limited, but have been unable to figure out how to set up/start repastpy. How is repastpy set up and started?
I have repast-simphony 2.7 downloaded on my Mac as per https://repast.github.io/download.html, and I am able to get the Java version running from Eclipse - that is, for the repast window to open and start the Java-based examples (e.g., GeoZombies). In reviewing the repast simphony 2.7.0 folder in my Applications, I see several reference documents for getting started with batch or Java but not for Python.
I consulted the repastpy pages at http://repast.sourceforge.net/repast_3/repastpy/; they discuss how to use repastpy once started but not how to get repastpy set up and/or started in the first place (or, I have missed any such instructions).
I have also not seen a file name including "repastpy" anywhere through a search of my Mac after downloading and installing repast simphony.
I would appreciate any clarification anyone might be able to offer about how to get repastpy running.
The most current versions of Repast can be found here: https://repast.github.io These include Repast Simphony and Repast HPC. Repastpy has been deprecated a while ago, so I would not recommend it as a way forward.
