Poke

An interactive environment for probabilistic programming.

Note: This tool is barely functional and depends on a number of software packages that are themselves barely functional. I use this for probabilistic programming tutorials, but it is far from mature and probably will never be.

Usage

First, adjust settings.py and settings.ss.

To start the file monitor, run:

$ python ./observer.py 

To start the user interface, run:

$ python ./ui.py

Requirements

• python-tools
• scheme-tools
• enthought python
• watchdog
• bher
