PyKnow is a Python library for building expert systems strongly inspired
by CLIPS_.

.. code-block:: python

from random import choice
from pyknow import *

class Light(Fact):
"""Info about the traffic light."""
pass

class RobotCrossStreet(KnowledgeEngine):
@rule(Light(color='green'))
def green_light(self):
print("Walk")

   @Rule(Light(color='red'))
   def red_light(self):
       print("Don't walk")

   @Rule(AS.light << Light(color=L('yellow') | L('blinking-yellow')))
   def cautious(self, light):
       print("Be cautious because light is", light["color"])

.. code-block:: python

engine = RobotCrossStreet()
engine.reset()
engine.declare(Light(color=choice(['green', 'yellow', 'blinking-yellow', 'red'])))
engine.run()
Be cautious because light is blinking-yellow
