# 🌀 Pykka
_Pykka makes it easier to build concurrent applications._
---
Pykka is a Python implementation of the
[actor model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model).
The actor model introduces some simple rules to control
the sharing of state and cooperation between execution units,
which makes it easier to build concurrent applications.
For a quickstart guide and a complete API reference,
see the [documentation](https://pykka.readthedocs.io/).
## Installation
Pykka requires Python 3.9 or newer.
Pykka is available from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pykka/):
```
python3 -m pip install pykka
```
