        Pylon is a free software package for simulation of electric power systems and
        energy markets.  Its purpose is to provide a simple yet powerful tool for
        electric power Engineers that is not tied to proprietary software and can be
        used and extended easily.
        
        Pylon's features currently include:
        
        * DC and AC (Newton's method & Fast Decoupled) power flow,
        * DC and AC optimal power flow,
        * State estimation,
        * PSS/E, MATPOWER_ and PSAT_ data file parsers, and
        * Agent-based market simultaion using reinforcement learning methods.
        
        -----------
        Quick start
        -----------
        
        With Python_, setuptools_ and SciPy_ installed, run::
        
        # easy_install pylon
        
        Pylon performs an AC power flow and prints a ReStructuredText_ report by
        default::
        
        $ pylon data_file.raw
        
        Refer to the documentation for detailed usage information or type::
        
        $ pylon --help
