Default parameters terroristnetwork

The examples weren't being properly tested in the last commit. When we fixed
that a lot of bugs in the new implementation of environment and agent were
found, which accounts for most of these changes.

The main difference is the mechanism to load simulations from a configuration
file. For that to work, we had to rework our module loading code in
`serialization` and add a `source_file` attribute to configurations (and
simulations, for that matter).

+# Changelog
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.30 UNRELEASED]
+### Added
+* Simple debugging capabilities in `soil.debugging`, with a custom `pdb.Debugger` subclass that exposes commands to list agents and their status and set breakpoints on states (for FSM agents). Try it with `soil --debug <simulation file>`
+* Ability to run mesa simulations
+* The `soil.exporters` module to export the results of datacollectors (model.datacollector) into files at the end of trials/simulations
+* A modular set of classes for environments/models. Now the ability to configure the agents through an agent definition and a topology through a network configuration is split into two classes (`soil.agents.BaseEnvironment` for agents, `soil.agents.NetworkEnvironment` to add topology).
+* FSM agents can now have generators as states. They work similar to normal states, with one caveat. Only `time` values can be yielded, not a state. This is because the state will not change, it will be resumed after the yield, at the appropriate time. The return value *can* be a state, or a `(state, time)` tuple, just like in normal states.
+### Changed
+* Configuration schema is very simplified
+### Removed
+* Any `tsih` and `History` integration in the main classes. To record the state of environments/agents, just use a datacollector. In some cases this may be slower or consume more memory than the previous system. However, few cases actually used the full potential of the history, and it came at the cost of unnecessary complexity and worse performance for the majority of cases.
+
+
+## [0.20.7]
+### Changed
+* Creating a `time.When` from another `time.When` does not nest them anymore (it returns the argument)
+### Fixed
+* Bug with time.NEVER/time.INFINITY
+## [0.20.6]
+### Fixed
+* Agents now return `time.INFINITY` when dead, instead of 'inf'
+* `soil.__init__` does not re-export built-in time (change in `soil.simulation`. It used to create subtle import conflicts when importing soil.time.
+* Parallel simulations were broken because lambdas cannot be pickled properly, which is needed for multiprocessing.
+### Changed
+* Some internal simulation methods do not accept `*args` anymore, to avoid ambiguity and bugs.
+## [0.20.5]
+### Changed
+* Defaults are now set in the agent __init__, not in the environment. This decouples both classes a bit more, and it is more intuitive 
+## [0.20.4]
+### Added
+* Agents can now be given any kwargs, which will be used to set their state
+* Environments have a default logger `self.logger` and a log method, just like agents
+## [0.20.3]
+### Fixed
+* Default state values are now deepcopied again.
+* Seeds for environments only concatenate the trial id (i.e., a number), to provide repeatable results.
+* `Environment.run` now calls `Environment.step`, to allow for easy overloading of the environment step
+### Removed
+* Datacollectors are not being used for now.
+* `time.TimedActivation.step` does not use an `until` parameter anymore.
+### Changed
+* Simulations now run right up to `until` (open interval)
+* Time instants (`time.When`) don't need to be floats anymore. Now we can avoid precision issues with big numbers by using ints.
+* Rabbits simulation is more idiomatic (using subclasses)
+
+## [0.20.2]
+### Fixed
+* CI/CD testing issues
+## [0.20.1]
+### Fixed
+* Agents would run another step after dying.
+## [0.20.0]
+### Added
+* Integration with MESA
+* `not_agent_ids` parameter to get sql in history
+### Changed
+* `soil.Environment` now also inherits from `mesa.Model`
+* `soil.Agent` now also inherits from `mesa.Agent`
+* `soil.time` to replace `simpy` events, delays, duration, etc.
+* `agent.id` is not `agent.unique_id` to be compatible with `mesa`. A property `BaseAgent.id` has been added for compatibility.
+* `agent.environment` is now `agent.model`, for the same reason as above. The parameter name in `BaseAgent.__init__` has also been renamed.
+### Removed
+* `simpy` dependency and compatibility. Each agent used to be a simpy generator, but that made debugging and error handling more complex. That has been replaced by a scheduler within the `soil.Environment` class, similar to how `mesa` does it.
+* `soil.history` is now a separate package named `tsih`. The keys namedtuple uses `dict_id` instead of `agent_id`.
+### Added
+* An option to choose whether a database should be used for history 
+## [0.15.2]
+### Fixed
+* Pass the right known_modules and parameters to stats discovery in simulation
+* The configuration file must exist when launching through the CLI. If it doesn't, an error will be logged
+* Minor changes in the documentation of the CLI arguments
+### Changed
+* Stats are now exported by default
+## [0.15.1]
+### Added
+* read-only `History`
+### Fixed
+* Serialization problem with the `Environment` on parallel mode.
+* Analysis functions now work as they should in the tutorial
+## [0.15.0]
+### Added
+* Control logging level in CLI and simulation
+* `Stats` to calculate trial and simulation-wide statistics
+* Simulation statistics are stored in a separate table in history (see `History.get_stats` and `History.save_stats`, as well as `soil.stats`)
+* Aliased `NetworkAgent.G` to `NetworkAgent.topology`.
+### Changed
+* Templates in config files can be given as dictionaries in addition to strings
+* Samplers are used more explicitly
+* Removed nxsim dependency. We had already made a lot of changes, and nxsim has not been updated in 5 years.
+* Exporter methods renamed to `trial` and `end`. Added `start`.
+* `Distribution` exporter now a stats class
+* `global_topology` renamed to `topology`
+* Moved topology-related methods to `NetworkAgent`
+### Fixed
+* Temporary files used for history in dry_run mode are not longer left open 
+
+## [0.14.9]
+### Changed
+* Seed random before environment initialization
+## [0.14.8]
+### Fixed
+* Invalid directory names in Windows gsi-upm/soil#5
+## [0.14.7]
+### Changed
+* Minor change to traceback handling in async simulations
+### Fixed
+* Incomplete example in the docs (example.yml) caused an exception
+## [0.14.6]
+### Fixed
+* Bug with newer versions of networkx (0.24) where the Graph.node attribute has been removed. We have updated our calls, but the code in nxsim is not under our control, so we have pinned the networkx version until that issue is solved.
+### Changed
+* Explicit yaml.SafeLoader to avoid deprecation warnings when using yaml.load. It should not break any existing setups, but we could move to the FullLoader in the future if needed.
+
+## [0.14.4]
+### Fixed
+* Bug in `agent.get_agents()` when `state_id` is passed as a string. The tests have been modified accordingly.
+## [0.14.3]
+### Fixed
+* Incompatibility with py3.3-3.6 due to ModuleNotFoundError and TypeError in DryRunner
+## [0.14.2]
+### Fixed
+* Output path for exporters is now soil_output
+### Changed 
+* CSV output to stdout in dry_run mode
+## [0.14.1]
+### Changed
+* Exporter names in lower case
+* Add default exporter in runs
+## [0.14.0]
+### Added
+* Loading configuration from template definitions in the yaml, in preparation for SALib support.
+The definition of the variables and their possible values (i.e., a problem in SALib terms), as well as a sampler function, can be provided.
+Soil uses this definition and the template to generate a set of configurations.
+* Simulation group names, to link related simulations. For now, they are only used to group all simulations in the same group under the same folder.
+* Exporters unify exporting/dumping results and other files to disk. If `dry_run` is set to `True`, exporters will write to stdout instead of a file (useful for testing/debugging).
+* Distribution exporter, to write statistics about values and value_counts in every simulation. The results are dumped to two CSV files.
+
+### Changed
+* `dir_path` is now the directory for resources (modules, files)
+* Environments and simulations do not export or write anything by default. That task is delegated to Exporters
+
+### Removed
+* The output dir for environments and simulations (see Exporters)
+* DrawingAgent, because it wrote to disk and was not being used. We provide a partial alternative in the form of the GraphDrawing exporter. A complete alternative will be provided once the network at each state can be accessed by exporters.
+
+## Fixed
+* Modules with custom agents/environments failed to load when they were run from outside the directory of the definition file. Modules are now loaded from the directory of the simulation file in addition to the working directory
+* Memory databases (in history) can now be shared between threads.
+* Testing all examples, not just subdirectories
+
+## [0.13.8]
+### Changed
+* Moved TerroristNetworkModel to examples
+### Added
+* `get_agents` and `count_agents` methods now accept lists as inputs. They can be used to retrieve agents from node ids
+* `subgraph` in BaseAgent
+* `agents.select` method, to filter out agents
+* `skip_test` property in yaml definitions, to force skipping some examples
+* `agents.Geo`, with a search function based on postition
+* `BaseAgent.ego_search` to get nodes from the ego network of a node
+* `BaseAgent.degree` and `BaseAgent.betweenness`
+### Fixed
+
+## [0.13.7]
+### Changed
+* History now defaults to not backing up! This makes it more intuitive to load the history for examination, at the expense of rewriting something. That should not happen because History is only created in the Environment, and that has `backup=True`.
+### Added
+* Agent names are assigned based on their agent types
+* Agent logging uses the agent name.
+* FSM agents can now return a timeout in addition to a new state. e.g. `return self.idle, self.env.timeout(2)` will execute the *different_state* in 2 *units of time* (`t_step=now+2`).
+* Example of using timeouts in FSM (custom_timeouts)
+* `network_agents` entries may include an `ids` entry. If set, it should be a list of node ids that should be assigned that agent type. This complements the previous behavior of setting agent type with `weights`.

 # [SOIL](https://github.com/gsi-upm/soil)
 
+
 Soil is an extensible and user-friendly Agent-based Social Simulator for Social Networks.
 Learn how to run your own simulations with our [documentation](http://soilsim.readthedocs.io).
 
-Follow our [tutorial](notebooks/soil_tutorial.ipynb) to develop your own agent models.
+Follow our [tutorial](examples/tutorial/soil_tutorial.ipynb) to develop your own agent models.
+
+> **Warning**
+> Mesa 0.30 introduced many fundamental changes. Check the [documention on how to update your simulations to work with newer versions](docs/notes_v0.30.rst)
+
+## Features
+
+* Integration with (social) networks (through `networkx`)
+* Convenience functions and methods to easily assign agents to your model (and optionally to its network):
+  * Following a given distribution (e.g., 2 agents of type `Foo`, 10% of the network should be agents of type `Bar`)
+  * Based on the topology of the network
+* **Several types of abstractions for agents**:
+  * Finite state machine, where methods can be turned into a state
+  * Network agents, which have convenience methods to access the model's topology
+  * Generator-based agents, whose state is paused though a `yield` and resumed on the next step
+* **Reporting and data collection**:
+  * Soil models include data collection and record some data by default (# of agents, state of each agent, etc.)
+  * All data collected are exported by default to a SQLite database and a description file
+  * Options to export to other formats, such as CSV, or defining your own exporters
+  * A summary of the data collected is shown in the command line, for easy inspection
+* **An event-based scheduler**
+  * Agents can be explicit about when their next time/step should be, and not all agents run in every step. This avoids unnecessary computation.
+  * Time intervals between each step are flexible.
+  * There are primitives to specify when the next execution of an agent should be (or conditions)
+* **Actor-inspired** message-passing
+* A simulation runner (`soil.Simulation`) that can:
+  * Run models in parallel
+  * Save results to different formats
+* Simulation configuration files 
+* A command line interface (`soil`), to quickly run simulations with different parameters
+* An integrated debugger (`soil --debug`) with custom functions to print agent states and break at specific states
+
+
+## Mesa compatibility
+
+SOIL has been redesigned to integrate well with [Mesa](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa).
+For instance, it should be possible to run a `mesa.Model` models using a `soil.Simulation` and the `soil` CLI, or to integrate the `soil.TimedActivation` scheduler on a `mesa.Model`.
+
+Note that some combinations of `mesa` and `soil` components, while technically possible, are much less useful or might yield surprising results.
+For instance, you may add any `soil.agent` agent on a regular `mesa.Model` with a vanilla scheduler from `mesa.time`.
+But in that case the agents will not get any of the advanced event-based scheduling, and most agent behaviors that depend on that may not work. 
+
+
+## Changes in version 0.3
+
+Version 0.3 came packed with many changes to provide much better integration with MESA.
+For a long time, we tried to keep soil backwards-compatible, but it turned out to be a big endeavour and the resulting code was less readable.
+This translates to harder maintenance and a worse experience for newcomers. 
+In the end, we decided to make some breaking changes.
+
+If you have an older Soil simulation, you have two options:
+
+* Update the necessary configuration files and code. You may use the examples in the `examples` folder for reference, as well as the documentation.
+* Keep using a previous `soil` version.

+Mesa compatibility
+------------------
+
+Soil is in the process of becoming fully compatible with MESA.
+The idea is to provide a set of modular classes and functions that extend the functionality of mesa, whilst staying compatible.
+In the end, it should be possible to add regular mesa agents to a soil simulation, or use a soil agent within a mesa simulation/model.
+
+This is a non-exhaustive list of tasks to achieve compatibility:
+
+- [ ] Integrate `soil.Simulation` with mesa's runners:
+  - [ ] `soil.Simulation` could mimic/become a `mesa.batchrunner`
+- [ ] Integrate `soil.Environment` with `mesa.Model`:
+  - [x] `Soil.Environment` inherits from `mesa.Model`
+  - [x] `Soil.Environment` includes a Mesa-like Scheduler (see the `soil.time` module.
+  - [ ] Allow for `mesa.Model` to be used in a simulation.
+- [ ] Integrate `soil.Agent` with `mesa.Agent`:
+  - [x] Rename agent.id to unique_id?
+  - [x] mesa agents can be used in soil simulations (see `examples/mesa`)
+- [ ] Provide examples
+  - [ ] Using mesa modules in a soil simulation
+  - [ ] Using soil modules in a mesa simulation

+What are the main changes between version 0.3 and 0.2?
+######################################################
+
+Version 0.3 is a major rewrite of the Soil system, focused on simplifying the API, aligning it with Mesa, and making it easier to use.
+Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of backwards compatibility.
+
+We drew several lessons from the previous version of Soil, and tried to address them in this version.
+Mainly:
+
+- The split between simulation configuration and simulation code was overly complicated for most use cases. As a result, most users ended up reusing configuration.
+- Storing **all** the simulation data in a database is costly and unnecessary for most use cases. For most use cases, only a handful of variables need to be stored. This fits nicely with Mesa's data collection system.
+- The API was too complex, and it was difficult to understand how to use it.
+- Most parts of the API were not aligned with Mesa, which made it difficult to use Mesa's features or to integrate Soil modules with Mesa code, especially for newcomers.
+- Many parts of the API were tightly coupled, which made it difficult to find bugs, test the system and add new features.
+
+The 0.30 rewrite should provide a middle ground between Soil's opinionated approach and Mesa's flexibility.
+The new Soil is less configuration-centric.
+It aims to provide more modular and convenient functions, most of which can be used in vanilla Mesa.
+
+How are agents assigned to nodes in the network
+###############################################
+
+The constructor of the `NetworkAgent` class has two arguments: `node_id` and `topology`.
+If `topology` is not provided, it will default to `self.model.topology`.
+This assignment might err if the model does not have a `topology` attribute, but most Soil environments derive from `NetworkEnvironment`, so they include a topology by default.
+If `node_id` is not provided, a random node will be selected from the topology, until a node with no agent is found.
+Then, the `node_id` of that node is assigned to the agent.
+If no node with no agent is found, a new node is automatically added to the topology.
+
+
+Can Soil environments include more than one network / topology?
+###############################################################
+
+Yes, but each network has to be included manually.
+Somewhere between 0.20 and 0.30 we included the ability to include multiple networks, but it was deemed too complex and was removed.

-        - agent_type: SISaModel

-            state:
-            id: neutral
-    environment_params:
-        prob_infect: 0.075
-
-Now run the simulation with the command line tool:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   soil example.yml
-
-Once the simulation finishes, its results will be stored in a folder named ``MyExampleSimulation``.
-Four types of objects are saved by default: a pickle of the simulation, a ``YAML`` representation of the simulation (to re-launch it), for every trial, a csv file with the content of the state of every network node and the environment parameters at every step of the simulation as well as the network in gephi format (``gexf``).
+There are mainly two parts in a simulation: agent classes and simulation configuration.
+An agent class defines how the agent will behave throughout the simulation.
+The configuration includes things such as number of agents to use and their type, network topology to use, etc.

-This example configuration will run three trials of a simulation containing a randomly generated network.
-The 100 nodes in the network will be SISaModel agents, 10% of them will start in the content state, 10% in the discontent state, and the remaining 80% in the neutral state.
-All agents will have access to the environment, which only contains one variable, ``prob_infected``.
-The state of the agents will be updated every 2 seconds (``timeout``).
+Soil includes several agent classes in the ``soil.agents`` module, and we will use them in this quickstart.
+If you are interested in developing your own agents classes, see :doc:`soil_tutorial`.
 
+Configuration
+=============
+To get you started, we will use this configuration (:download:`download the file <quickstart.yml>` directly):
 
-Network
-=======
-
-The network topology for the simulation can be loaded from an existing network file or generated with one of the random network generation methods from networkx.
-
-Loading a network
-#################
-
-To load an existing network, specify its path in the configuration:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   ---
-   network_params:
-      path: /tmp/mynetwork.gexf
-
-Soil will try to guess what networkx method to use to read the file based on its extension.
-However, we only test using ``gexf`` files.
-
-Generating a random network
-###########################
-
-To generate a random network using one of networkx's built-in methods, specify the `graph generation algorithm <https://networkx.github.io/documentation/development/reference/generators.html>`_ and other parameters.
-For example, the following configuration is equivalent to :code:`nx.complete_graph(100)`:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-    network_params:
-        network_type: complete_graph
-        n: 100
-
-Environment
-============
-The environment is the place where the shared state of the simulation is stored.
-For instance, the probability of certain events.
-The configuration file may specify the initial value of the environment parameters:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-    environment_params:
-        daily_probability_of_earthquake: 0.001
-        number_of_earthquakes: 0
-
-Agents
-======
-Agents are a way of modelling behavior.
-Agents can be characterized with two variables: an agent type (``agent_type``) and its state.
-Only one agent is executed at a time (generally, every ``timeout`` seconds), and it has access to its state and the environment parameters.
-Through the environment, it can access the network topology and the state of other agents.
-
-There are three three types of agents according to how they are added to the simulation: network agents, environment agent, and other agents.
-
-Network Agents
-##############
-Network agents are attached to a node in the topology.
-The configuration file allows you to specify how agents will be mapped to topology nodes.
-
-The simplest way is to specify a single type of agent.
-Hence, every node in the network will have an associated agent of that type.
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   agent_type: SISaModel
-
-It is also possible to add more than one type of agent to the simulation, and to control the ratio of each type (``weight``).
-For instance, with following configuration, it is five times more likely for a node to be assigned a CounterModel type than a SISaModel type.
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   agent_distribution:
-      - agent_type: SISaModel
-        weight: 1
-      - agent_type: CounterModel
-        weight: 5
-
-In addition to agent type, you may also add a custom initial state to the distribution.
-This is very useful to add the same agent type with different states.
-e.g., to populate the network with SISaModel, roughly 10% of them with a discontent state:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-    agent_distribution:
-        - agent_type: SISaModel
-            weight: 9
-            state:
-            id: neutral
-        - agent_type: SISaModel
-            weight: 1
-            state:
-            id: discontent
-
-Lastly, the configuration may include initial state for one or more nodes.
-For instance, to add a state for the two nodes in this configuration:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   agent_type: SISaModel
-   network:
-      network_type: complete_graph
-      n: 2
-   states:
-     - id: content
-     - id: discontent
-
-
-Or to add state only to specific nodes (by ``id``).
-For example, to apply special skills to Linux Torvalds in a simulation:
-
-.. literalinclude:: ../examples/torvalds.yml
+.. literalinclude:: quickstart.yml
    :language: yaml
 
+The agent type used, SISa, is a very simple model.
+It only has three states (neutral, content and discontent),
+Its parameters are the probabilities to change from one state to another, either spontaneously or because of contagion from neighboring agents.
 
-Environment Agents
-##################
-In addition to network agents, more agents can be added to the simulation.
-These agens are programmed in much the same way as network agents, the only difference is that they will not be assigned to network nodes.
+Running the simulation
+======================
 
+To see the simulation in action, simply point soil to the configuration, and tell it to store the graph and the history of agent states and environment parameters at every point.
 
 .. code::
 
-   environment_agents:
-       - agent_type: MyAgent
-         state:

-Visualizing the results
-=======================
+The ``CSV`` file should look like this:
 
-The simulation will return a dynamic graph .gexf file which could be visualized with
+.. code::
+
+   agent_id,t_step,key,value
+   env,0,neutral_discontent_spon_prob,0.05
+   env,0,neutral_discontent_infected_prob,0.1
+   env,0,neutral_content_spon_prob,0.2
+   env,0,neutral_content_infected_prob,0.4
+   env,0,discontent_neutral,0.2
+   env,0,discontent_content,0.05
+   env,0,content_discontent,0.05
+   env,0,variance_d_c,0.05
+   env,0,variance_c_d,0.1
+
+Results and visualization
+=========================
+
+The environment variables are marked as ``agent_id`` env.
+Th exported values are only stored when they change.
+To find out how to get every key and value at every point in the simulation, check out the :doc:`soil_tutorial`.
+
+The dynamic graph is exported as a .gexf file which could be visualized with
 `Gephi <https://gephi.org/users/download/>`__.
+Now it is your turn to experiment with the simulation.
+Change some of the parameters, such as the number of agents, the probability of becoming content, or the type of network, and see how the results change.
+
+
+Soil also includes a web server that allows you to upload your simulations, change parameters, and visualize the results, including a timeline of the network.
+To make it work, you have to install soil like this:
+
+.. code::
+
+  pip install soil[web]
+
+Once installed, the soil web UI can be run in two ways:
+
+.. code::
+
+  soil-web
+
+  # OR
+
+  python -m soil.web

+### MESA
+
+Starting with version 0.3, Soil has been redesigned to complement Mesa, while remaining compatible with it.
+That means that every component in Soil (i.e., Models, Environments, etc.) can be mixed with existing mesa components.
+In fact, there are examples that show how that integration may be used, in the `examples/mesa` folder in the repository.
+
+Here are some reasons to use Soil instead of plain mesa:
+
+- Less boilerplate for common scenarios (by some definitions of common)
+- Functions to automatically populate a topology with an agent distribution (i.e., different ratios of agent class and state)
+- The `soil.Simulation` class allows you to run multiple instances of the same experiment (i.e., multiple trials with the same parameters but a different randomness seed)
+- Reporting functions that aggregate multiple

+Simulation of pubs and drinking pals that go from pub to pub.
+
+Th custom environment includes a list of pubs and methods to allow agents to discover and enter pubs.
+There are two types of agents:
+
+* Patron. A patron will do three things, in this order:
+    * Look for other patrons to drink with
+    * Look for a pub where the agent and other agents in the same group can get in.
+    * While in the pub, patrons only drink, until they get drunk and taken home.
+* Police. There is only one police agent that will take any drunk patrons home (kick them out of the pub).

+There are two similar implementations of this simulation.
+
+- `basic`. Using simple primites
+- `improved`. Using more advanced features such as the `time` module to avoid unnecessary computations (i.e., skip steps), and generator functions.
+
+The examples can be run directly in the terminal, and they accept command like arguments.
+For example, to enable the CSV exporter and the Summary exporter, while setting `max_time` to `100` and `seed` to `CustomSeed`:
+
+```
+python rabbit_agents.py  --set max_time=100 --csv -e summary  --set 'seed="CustomSeed"'
+```
+
+To learn more about how this functionality works, check out the `soil.easy` function.
