        A Python framework for the development and application of hydrological models
        
        *HydPy* is an interactive framework for developing and applying
        different types of hydrological models, originally developed
        at the `Ruhr-University Bochum`_ for specific research purposes.
        Later it was extended on behalf of the `German Federal Institute of
        Hydrology`_ in order to be applicable in practical applications like
        runoff forecasting in large river basins.  Now it is being maintained
        by `BjÃ¶rnsen Consulting Engineers`_.
        
        
        *HydPy* is intended to be a modern open source software, based on the
        programming language `Python`_, commonly used in many scientific fields.
        Through using different well-established `Python`_ libraries and design
        principles, we target high quality and transparency standards. To avoid
        writing model cores in a more native programming language, *HydPy*
        includes a `Cython`_ based mechanism to automatically translate
        Python code to C code and to compile it.
        
        *HydPy* has no graphical user interface (so far). Instead, it is thought
        to be applied by executing Python scripts. These scripts help to increase
        the reproducibility of studies performed with *HydPy* because
        they can be easily shared and repeatedly executed.  This approach facilitates
        discussing possible weaknesses of *HydPy* and its implemented
        models and comparing different methodical approaches (e. g. different
        strategies to calibrate model parameters).  However, if you are not an
        experienced hydrologist with basic programming skills, you may need
        some help to become acquainted with *HydPy*.
        
        We host *HydPy* in a `GitHub repository`_ and everyone
        is allowed to download, modify, and use it.  However, when passing the
        (possibly modified) code to third parties, you have to be aware you
        cannot change the selected `GNU Lesser General Public License 3`_
        to a "less open source" license.  If you, for example, implement a model
        into *HydPy*, you can be sure that all possible further developments of
        your model code are still open source and the mentioned third parties
        are allowed to pass this modified source code to you.
        
        *HydPy* offers many functionalities to make the implemented
        models as transparent and reliable as possible.  For this reason,
        the `online documentation`_ is automatically updated for each new
        *HydPy* version and includes different `documentation test`_ mechanisms
        ensuring that *HydPy* is working as expected and that the complete
        documentation is up-to-date with it.
        
        When downloading the latest `HydPy release`_, you should have a
        look at the `installation instructions`_.  We will soon release
        *HydPy 3.0*, including new features like `FEWS`_-compatible
        `NetCDF-CF`_ and XML support.
