Python 3.12.3 : PyGame, DuckDB and AgentPy on Fedora 42 linux distro.

Today I tested the installation of some python packages in the Fedora 42 Linux distribution. On the Windows 10 operating system I failed to install pygame because it was trying to build.

[mythcat@fedora ~]$ pip install duckdb --upgrade

Python 3.13.0rc1 : AgentPy python module ...

AgentPy is an open-source library for the development and analysis of agent-based models in Python.

The project can be found on the GitHub repo.

This can be install with the pip tool:

pip install agentpy
Collecting agentpy
...
Successfully installed SALib-1.5.1 agentpy-0.1.5 contourpy-1.3.0 cycler-0.12.1 dill-0.3.8 fonttools-4.53.1

pillow-10.4.0 pyparsing-3.1.4 scipy-1.14.1

This is the source code:

import agentpy as ap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# define Agent class
class RandomWalker(ap.Agent):
    def setup(self):
        self.position = [0, 0]

    def step(self):
        self.position += self.model.random.choice([[1, 0], [-1, 0], [0, 1], [0, -1]])

# define Model class
class RandomWalkModel(ap.Model):
    def setup(self):
        self.agents = ap.AgentList(self, self.p.agents, RandomWalker)
        self.agents.setup()

    def step(self):
        self.agents.step()

    def update(self):
        self.record('Positions', [agent.position for agent in self.agents])

    def end(self):
        positions = self.log['Positions']
        plt.figure()
        for pos in positions:
            plt.plot(*zip(*pos))
        plt.show()

# configuration and running 
parameters = {'agents': 5, 'steps': 20}
model = RandomWalkModel(parameters)
results = model.run()

The result is a simple graph with these output:
