+SimPy
+=====
+
+To build documentation, pass DOCS=yes to the slackbuild. Requires Sphinx.
+
+SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation language based on standard
+Python and released under the GNU LGPL.
+
+It provides the modeller with components of a simulation model. These include
+processes for active components like customers, messages and vehicles as well
+as resources for passive components that form limited capacity congestion
+points (like servers, checkout counters and tunnels). It also provides monitor
+variables to aid in gathering statistics. SimPy comes with extensive plotting
+capabilities.
+
+The distribution contains in-depth documentation, tutorials, and a large number
+of simulation models.
