Description: 
        SimPy 2.0.1 is a bug-fix release of SimPy 2.0. It repairs
        a number of errors in SimPy libraries, models and documentation.
        Version 2.0 of SimPy is a major release. It differs
        from the predecessor version (1.9.1) as follows:
        
        - Addition of an objected oriented API, while maintaining
        full backward compatibility. With external packages
        such as Parallel Python, this allows running SimPy
        programs in parallel on multiple computers/CPUs/cores.
        
        With 2.0, it is simple to add new simulation classes
        and modules which are subclassing class Simulation.
        
        - Totally restructured, significantly smaller code base,
        getting rid of all code duplication. This makes for
        easier maintenance.
        
        - Structuring and rendering of all documentation with
        the Sphinx documentation tool. This results in one
        easily browseable and searchable document.
        
        SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation language
        based on standard Python and released under the GNU LGPL.
        
        It provides the modeller with components of a simulation
        model. These include processes, for active components like
        customers, messages, and vehicles, and resources, for
        passive components that form limited capacity congestion
        points like servers, checkout counters, and tunnels. It
        also provides monitor variables to aid in gathering
        statistics. SimPy comes with extensive plotting capabilities.
        
        The distribution contains in-depth documentation, tutorials,
        and a large number of simulation models.
        
        Simulation model developers are encouraged to share their
        SimPy modeling techniques with the SimPy community. Please
        post a message to the simpy-Users mailing list,
        
        mailto:simpy-users@lists.sourceforge.net.

        Software developers are also encouraged to interface SimPy with
        other Python-accessible packages, such as GUI, data base or
        mapping and to share these new capabilities with the
        community under the GNU LGPL.
