Py Trees

This is a python implementation of behaviour trees designed to facilitate the rapid development of medium sized decision making engines for use in fields like robotics. Brief feature list:

• Sequence, Selector, Parallel and Chooser composites
• Blackboards for data sharing
• Python generators for smarter ticking over the tree graph
• Python decorators for enabling meta behaviours
• Render trees to dot graphs or visualise with ascii graphs on stdout

Detailed api reference and demo instructions can be found in the sphinx documentation for the package. There is also the py_trees_ros package which includes additional modules and documentation for using py_trees with ROS.
