Description: The FMI++ Python Interface
        ==========================
        
        About
        -----
        
        The `Functional Mock-up Interface`_ (FMI) specification intentionally provides only the most essential and fundamental functionalities in the form of a C interface.
        On the one hand, this increases flexibility in use and portability to virtually any platform.
        On the other hand, such a low-level approach implies several prerequisites a simulation tool has to fulfil in order to be able to utilize such an FMI component.
        
        .. _Functional Mock-up Interface: https://fmi-standard.org/
        
        The `FMI++ Python Interface`_ is a Python wrapper for the `FMI++ Library`_, which intends to bridge the gap between the basic fuctionality provided by the FMI specification and the typical requirements of simulation tools.
        The FMI++ Library provides high-level functionalities that ease the handling and manipulation of FMUs, such as numerical integration, advanced event-handling or state predictions.
        This allows FMUs to be integrated more easily, e.g., into fixed time step or discrete event simulations.

        This package provides a stand-alone version of the Python interface for the `FMI++ Library`_.

        Documentation
        -------------
        
        The FMI++ Python Interface provides several classes that allow to manipulate FMUs for ModelExchange and for Co-Simulation.
        An overview on how to use it can be found `here`_.
        
        .. _here: http://pythonhosted.org/fmipp/
        
        More extensive background information can be found in the documentation of the `FMI++ Library`_.

        Installation on Windows
        -----------------------
        
        * use ``pip`` to install FMI++ from the PyPI as pre-compiled binary package (Python wheel)::
        
            $ pip install fmipp --prefer-binary
        
        ``--prefer-binary`` should guarantee that binary distributions (wheels) are chosen over source distributions for the installation.
        Alternatively ``--only-binary :all:`` can be used instead to force installing from binary distribution.
        
        Installation on Linux
        ---------------------
        
        * make sure to have installed the following prerequisites(e.g. via ``apt-get``)
        
            * python (python-dev) (recommended: version 3.5 (or higher))
            * pip (python-pip)
            * swig (swig)
            * SUNDIALS (libsundials-serial-dev)
            * Boost (libboost-all-dev)
        
        * use ``pip`` to install FMI++ from the PyPI via source distribution::
        
            $ pip install fmipp
