[SciPy-User] [ANN] PyDSTool 0.90 major release: dynamical systems modeling tools

[Rob Clewley]

I'm pleased to announce PyDSTool 0.90 has been released on PyPI and
Sourceforge. PyDSTool provides a range of high- and low-level
simulation and analysis tools for mathematical models that use
dynamical systems (for instance, ordinary differential equations and
discrete maps). It relies significantly on numpy, scipy, and
matplotlib but has its own modern and fast ODE solvers as well as
bifurcation and continuation analysis tools. Several scientific
toolboxes are also included.

The primary purpose of this release is to be fully compatible with
Python 3.3+ and 2.6-2.7 (although further support of 2.6 has been
dropped), and also better support for 64-bit systems. For the first
time, it uses a fully-automatic installer and is available on PyPI:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyDSTool

Bleeding edge versions and the latest full release can be found at
https://github.com/robclewley/pydstool

with a mirror of releases at Sourceforge, http://pydstool.sf.net.
Installation instructions are provided in the README.rst that's
visible at the repo sites.

The majority of these developments are due to the hard work of
Vladimir Zakharov in Moscow, which is greatly appreciated.

As usual, there are also many minor fixes and improvements included in
this version. Details are given in the github history. Please continue
to use the sourceforge site for user help queries and discussion
(please join the user mailing list at
https://sourceforge.net/p/pydstool/mailman/), while the github site
can be used if you want to contribute to code development directly.
Contributions are very welcome!

In an upcoming release, there will be better GUI support for
simulating and analyzing models.

Please let us know if you have any comments or problems with
installation or use.
