Welcome to larvaworld’s code docs!

The larvaworld Python package is a virtual lab for modeling and analysis of Drosophila larva behavior.

This website hosts the documentation for the larvaworld Python package found on GitHub and PyPI.

Getting Started

To begin using the larvaworld Python package, create/activate your Python virtual environment and install larvaworld through pip:

pip install larvaworld

About the Authors

The larvaworld code library was created and is managed by Panagiotis Sakagiannis, graduate student at the Computational Neuroscience lab of the University of Cologne under Martin-Paul Nawrot. If you would like to contact us, please inquire with nawrot-office@uni-koeln.de.

It is important to note the project is open source and that many features in this repository were made possible by contributors volunteering their time. Please take a look at the Contributors Page to learn more about the developers of larvaworld.
