| 2 | PyNN (pronounced 'pine' ) is a Python package for simulator-independent |
|---|
| 3 | specification of neuronal network models. |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | In other words, you can write the code for a model once, using the PyNN API, and |
|---|
| 6 | then run it without modification on any simulator that PyNN supports. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | To use PyNN, import the particular simulator module you wish to use, e.g. |
|---|
| 9 | import pyNN.neuron as sim |
|---|
| 10 | all subsequent code in the `sim` namespace will then have the same behaviour |
|---|
| 11 | independent of simulator. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Functions for simulation set-up and control: |
|---|
| 14 | setup() |
|---|
| 15 | run() |
|---|
| 16 | end() |
