Overview

This Python package wraps the Dynare.jl Julia package, which provides a Julia interface to the Dynare software for economic modeling.

The package provides a dynare(model_path: Path) function which takes a path to a Dynare model file and returns a Context Python object, which is a Python equivalent of the Dynare.Context Julia object.

Julia AxisArrayGrid objects are converted to Pandas DataFrame objects, and Julia Matrix objects are converted to NumPy ndarray objects.

Under the hood, the project uses the JuliaCall library to call Julia code from Python and convert Julia objects to Python objects.

Installation

The package can be currently installed from the GitLab repository:

pip install git+https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare-python.git

Example

For an example on how to use the package, see test/test_dynare.py.

Simple example

from dynare import dynare

context = dynare("<path_to_model_file.mod>")
print(context)
