How much of the compecon toolkit already exists in Python?

[davidrpugh]

I am wondering how much of the functionality of the compecon toolkit already exists in the scientific Python eco-system? Particularly for optimization: PyOpt is just one of many packages available.

When I was at ZICE, I took notes on various Python implementations of the tools and techniques that I was taught. I have a repo with all of the lecture notes.

David, these are great notes.

About 6 weeks ago we created a list of compecon routines and where we can find their equivalent in python.

You can see it here: https://github.com/EconForge/econforge/wiki/CompEcon

@davidrpugh @spencerlyon2 Shall we add this info somewhere in the documentation? I would propose that we add a quantecon.org/references/ section and add the function table: https://github.com/EconForge/econforge/wiki/CompEcon? Any thoughts?

That'd probably be good. It would also give us a decent benchmark to see how much functionality we are exposing

Great - I'll add that to my to do list. Currently the quantecon.org site is statically built with php so for now I will add a link to the CompEcon wiki entry - later we could host the table directly.

Sounds good to me.
