simpy.rt — Real-time simulations¶

Provides an environment whose time passes according to the (scaled) real-time (aka wallclock time).

class simpy.rt.RealtimeEnvironment(initial_time=0, factor=1.0, strict=True)¶

An Environment which uses the real (e.g. wallclock) time.

A time step will take factor seconds of real time (one second by default); e.g., if you step from 0 until 3 with factor=0.5, the simpy.core.BaseEnvironment.run() call will take at least 1.5 seconds.

If the processing of the events for a time step takes too long, a RuntimeError is raised in step(). You can disable this behavior by setting strict to False.

factor = None¶

Scaling factor of the real-time.

strict = None¶

Running mode of the environment. step() will raise a RuntimeError if this is set to True and the processing of events takes too long.

step()¶

Waits until enough real-time has passed for the next event to happen.

The delay is scaled according to the real-time factor. If the events of a time step are processed too slowly for the given factor and if strict is enabled, a RuntimeError is raised.
