Pyevolve: a Python open-source framework for genetic algorithms

Skip Abstract Section

Abstract

Pyevolve is an open-source framework for genetic algorithms. The initial long-term goal of the project was to create a complete and multi-platform framework for genetic algorithms in pure Python. However, the most recent developmental versions currently support also Genetic Programming (GP)[3]; accordingly, Pyevolve now aims at becoming a pure Python framework for evolutionary algorithms.
