-ABSTRACT = """Trends in programming language development and adoption point to Python as the high-level systems
-integration language of choice. Python leverages a vast developer-base external to the neuroscience
-community, and promises leaps in simulation complexity and maintainability to any neural simulator
-that adopts it. PyNN [<a href="http://neuralensemble.org/PyNN">http://neuralensemble.org/PyNN</a>] strives to provide a uniform application programming
-interface (API) across neural simulators. Presently NEURON, NEST are PCSIM supported, and support for
-other simulators, NeuroML output and neuromorphic VLSI hardware is under development.
-
-With PyNN it is possible to write a simulation script once and run it without modification on any
-supported simulator. It is also possible to write a script that uses capabilities specific to a single
-simulator. While this sacrifices simulator-independence, is adds flexibility, and can be a useful step in
-porting models between simulators. The design goals of PyNN include allowing access to low-level
-details of a simulation where necessary, while providing the capability to model at a high level of
-abstraction, with concomitant gains in development speed and simulation maintainability.
-
-Another of our aims with PyNN is to increase the productivity of neuroscience modeling, by making it
-faster to develop models <i>de novo</i>, by promoting code sharing and reuse across simulator communities,
-and by making it much easier to debug, test and validate simulations by running them on more than one
-simulator. Modelers would then become free to devote more software development effort to
-innovation, building on the simulator core with new tools such as network topology databases, stimulus
-programming, analysis and visualization tools, and simulation accounting. The resulting, community-
-developed 'meta-simulator' system would then represent a powerful tool for overcoming the so-called
-<i>complexity bottleneck</i> that is presently a major roadblock for neural modeling.

-This work is supported by the European Union through the FACETS project (contract number FP6-
-2004-IST-FETPI-15879)."""
