PowerTAC Python Adapter to broker-adapter

Installation

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3.6 venv/
source venv/bin/activate
python setup.py install
pip install editable .
agent --help

Running the tests

you may either run pytest or the /run_tests.sh script. The latter may need you to have inotify-tools installed as well as a proper limit for file watches like so

Architecture

• scripts holds utility script that can be run independently files
• notebooks holds Jupyter notebooks
• main.py is the main entry of the agent and it expects parameters to control what to be started
• communication holds the abstraction to the powertac server as well as the pub/sub tooling to let components send messages to each other
• data and Graph are to be ignored in git and they hold training data and tensorboard logs respectively

Starting Jupyter Notebooks

start them with jupyter notebook. The first cell adds the project to the sys.path so we can include local path modules.

Code Generation for GRPC connector

run the shell script in the root of the project. but first run pip3 install grpcio-tools and make sure you have python3 and pip3 installed and in your PATH.
