Description: # Description #
        
        The `pyasyncagent` package provides a python wrapper for asynchronous agents as part of [TheWorldAvatar](https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar) project. It is a python equivalent of `uk.ac.cam.cares.jps.base.agent.AsynAgent.java` but based on [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/) application behind a [gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/) server, inspired by the [Example: Python agent](https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar/tree/develop/Deploy/examples/python_agent). `pyasyncagent` uses `py4jps>=1.0.15` to access asynchronous derivation operations provided in `uk.ac.cam.cares.jps.base.derivation.DerivationClient.java`. For technical details, below are a few useful links:

        - [`DerivationClient`](https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar/blob/develop/JPS_BASE_LIB/src/main/java/uk/ac/cam/cares/jps/base/derivation) - derivation framework
        - [`AsynAgent.java`](https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar/blob/develop/JPS_BASE_LIB/src/main/java/uk/ac/cam/cares/jps/base/agent/AsynAgent.java) - asynchronous java agent that uses methods provided in `DerivationClient`

        # Installation #
        For development and testing reasons, follow below instructions to get a copy of the project up and running on your local system.
        
        ## Virtual environment setup
        
        It is highly recommended to install `pyasyncagent` packages in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html). The following steps can be taken to build a virtual environment:
        
        `(Windows)`
        
        ```cmd
        $ python -m venv <venv_name>
        $ <venv_name>\Scripts\activate.bat
        (<venv_name>) $
        ```
        
        `(Linux)`
        ```sh
        $ python3 -m venv <venv_name>
        $ source <venv_name>/bin/activate
        (<venv_name>) $
        ```
        
        The above commands will create and activate the virtual environment `<venv_name>` in the current directory.
        
        ## Installation via pip
        
        The following command can be used to install the `pyasyncagent` package and `agentlogging` package. This is a workaround as PyPI does NOT allow install_requires direct links, so we could NOT add package agentlogging from 'agentlogging @ git+https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar@develop#subdirectory=Agents/utils/python-utils' as dependency, therefore, in order to make semi-automated release process working, we here introduce a workaround to install agentlogging to the virtual environment but NOT as dependency in the setup.py of `pyasyncagent`. A long term solution could be that we publish `agentlogging` in PyPI as well.
        
        ```sh
        (<venv_name>) $ pip install pyasyncagent
        (<venv_name>) $ pip install "git+https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar@develop#subdirectory=Agents/utils/python-utils"
        ```

        You may refer to [DoEAgent](https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar/tree/133-dev-design-of-experiment/Agents/DoEAgent) for a concrete implementation of the above suggested folder structure based on `pyasyncagent`. The design of `pyasyncagent` is continually evolving, and as the project grows, we hope to make it more accessible to developers and users.
        
        # New features and package release #
        
        Developers who add new features to the python agent wrapper handle the distribution of package `pyasyncagent` on PyPI and Test-PyPI. If you want to add new features that suit your project and release the package independently, i.e. become a developer/maintainer, please contact the repository's administrator to indicate your interest.
        
        The release procedure is currently semi-automated and requires a few items:
        
        - Your Test-PyPI and PyPI account and password
        - The version number x.x.x for the release
        - Clone of `TheWorldAvatar` repository on your local machine
        - Docker-desktop is installed and running on your local machine
        - You have access to the docker.cmclinnovations.com registry on your local machine, for more information regarding the registry, see: https://github.com/cambridge-cares/TheWorldAvatar/wiki/Docker%3A-Image-registry
        
        Please create and checkout to a new branch from your feature branch once you are happy with the feature and above details are ready. The release process can then be started by using the commands below, depending on the operating system you're using. (REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE CORRECT VALUES IN THE COMMANDS BELOW!)
        
        `(Windows)`
        
        ```cmd
        $ cd \absolute_path_to\TheWorldAvatar\JPS_BASE_LIB\python_async_agent
        $ release_pyasyncagent_to_pypi.sh -v x.x.x
        ```
        
        `(Linux)`
        ```sh
        $ cd /absolute_path_to/TheWorldAvatar/JPS_BASE_LIB/python_async_agent
        $ ./release_pyasyncagent_to_pypi.sh -v x.x.x
        ```
        
        Please follow the instructions presented in the console once the process has begun. If everything goes well, change the version number in `JPS_BASE_LIB/python_async_agent/release_pyasyncagent_to_pypi.sh` to the one you used for the script release.
        ```sh
        echo "./release_pyasyncagent_to_pypi.sh -v 0.0.3   - release version 0.0.3"
        ```
        
        The changes mentioned above should then be committed with the changes performed automatically during the release process, specifically in python script `JPS_BASE_LIB/python_async_agent/pyasyncagent/__init__.py`
        ```
        __version__ = "0.0.3"
        ```
        
        and `JPS_BASE_LIB/python_async_agent/setup.py`
        ```
        version='0.0.3',
        ```
        
        Finally, merge the release branch back to the feature branch and make a Pull Request for the feature branch to be merged back into the `develop` branch.
