I'm really happy to see that someone is working on Python based GP
implementation :) I'm currently trying to get into GP world (I'm the GP

I'm curious what sort of heterogeneous data setup you had.

One thing I should say here is that pygene is a collection of
inter-related classes for populations, organisms, gametes and g

My bad, you had mentioned in the announcement that you had looked at
genetic programming systems but didn't claim that pygene was itself a
genetic programming system. I misread that; my apologies.

How is your package different from a nn package? Is this an addon for
genetic programming or does it include the standard nn components as
well, such as backprop etc?
Not being very familiar with genetic programming, forgive me my naive
question, I could not immediately find the answer.
Thank you,
