Welcome to mango’s documentation!

mango (modular python agent framework) is a python library for multi-agent systems (MAS). It is written on top of asyncio and is releassed under the MIT license.

mango allows the user to create simple agents with little effort and in the same time offers options to structure agents with complex behaviour. The main features of mango are listed below.

Features

• Container mechanism to speedup local message exchange

• Message definition based on the FIPA ACL standard

• Structuring complex agents with loose coupling and agent roles

• Built-in codecs: JSON and protobuf

• Supports communication between agents directly via TCP or via an external MQTT broker in the middle
