Alternatives to PyKE or extending PyKE

[Yusuf Pisan]

Back in the day, my research area was qualitative reasoning and I used LISP to build a variety of different systems. I am planning to have a set of student capstone projects where students build different reasoners. Instead of asking students to learn LISP, I'd like them to use python. PyKE seems like an ideal fit although I have barely scratched the surface so far. PyKE has not been updated for a while, but I saw that it works with Python 3.6 which is promising.

Are there alternatives to PyKE that are more popular or have a larger python community? Have people migrated to other software or has black-box machine learning taken over, so everybody is working on classifiers these days?

Thanks for making PyKE Free and Open Source. I look forward to making some contributions to it down the road.

Cheers,

Yusuf

I haven't looked for a while, but I did look a while ago and couldn't find anything better. It would be great to see someone breathe more life into PyKE.

Indeed. I've structured the prototype I'm busy with in plain python rules sets. If I get the green light to develop the full system I hope to use PyKE.
