---

Pykka is a Python implementation of the

[actor model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model).

The actor model introduces some simple rules to control

the sharing of state and cooperation between execution units,

which makes it easier to build concurrent applications.

For a quickstart guide and a complete API reference,

see the [documentation](https://pykka.readthedocs.io/).

## Installation

Pykka requires Python 3.9 or newer.
