A new Python package has been released. The package is an open-source toolbox and touches both stock-flow consistent and agent-based modeling aspects. It also contains a graphical user interface.

Brian Romanchuk is developing a Python package to build SFC models
Visit his package web page if interested.
Here is a letter from Kenn Tamara, who developed the models in Godley-Lavoie using Python:
I was reading “Monetary Economics” by Godley and Lavoie and came across the sfc-models.net website. I have taken your eViews models and reimplemented them using Python (running the experiments and generating the figures).
Everything is open-source and is written with a package that I developed to help specify and solve the models. The models are implemented as iPython notebooks for easier viewing and can be found at:
https://github.com/kennt/monetary-economicsInformation on the pysolve package used to specify and solve the models can be found at:
https://github.com/kennt/pylinsolve(A little warning, the code for pysolve is still under development and there isn’t that much documentation yet)
I hope that the python implementation is useful and would like to contribute it to sfc-models.net.
Thank you,
Kenn Takara
