PathSim is a Python framework for simulating dynamical systems using the block diagram abstraction. Its an open source (MIT) alternative to commercial tools such as Matlab Simulink. There is a gap in the Python ecosystem for a tool like this, which PathSim tries to fill.
Tha package is available on PyPI and conda-forge and offers a, browser-based visual editor with native Python code export of the model (also MIT licensed) thats hosted free to use at: https://view.pathsim.org
Currently, after about half a year since its public release (as of feb 2026), it has 250 stars and rising.
