Starting PCSIM

Since PCSIM is a package which extends python we first have to start python. E.g. on the command prompt just enter python . After this you should see something like:

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Nov 27 2006, 19:14:46)
[GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

After the python interpreter has been started one has to load the PCSIM python module pypcsim

   >>> from pypcsim import *

which makes all the functionality of PCSIM available in the python environment.
