Abstract:

physicelldataloader (pcdl) provides a platform independent, python3 based, pip installable interface to load output, generated with the PhysiCell agent-based modeling and diffusion solver framework, into python3.

pcdl was forked from the original PhysiCell-Tools python-loader implementation.

The pcdl python3 library maintains three branches:

  • Branch version 1 is the original PhysiCell-Tools/python-loader code.
  • Branch version 2 will be strictly compatible with the original PhysiCell-Tools/python-loader code, although pip installable.
  • Branch version 3 might break with old habits, although tries to be as much downward compatible as possible. The aim of the v3 branch is to get a very lean and agile python3 physicell output interface for the ones coming from the python3 world.

About Documentation:

Within the pcdl library, we tried to stick to the documentation policy laid out by Daniele Procida in his "what nobody tells you about documentation" talk at PyCon 2017 in Portland, Oregon.
