The Interactive Mode of Pyevolve is the only part of Pyevolve which is platform dependant, I’ve created the platform dependant code for Win and Linux, but not yet for Mac, I’m working on that issue for the next release 0.6 of Pyevolve, but there is a way to enter in the Interactive Mode on the Mac, it’s a workaround for a while, this is the code:
I’m currently working on the distributed GA support for the Pyevolve framework, the approach I’m using to network communication (individuals migration) is the hightweigh and unreliable UDP protocol, due it’s performance (for lan/wan) and broadcasting compatibility.
The distributed GA will have options to create the logical migration topology for the connected nodes (islands of evolution), migration schemes, migration rates and other parameters.
