Wow Stef,
You're really enthousiastic here! :) Good going. How's about we get the basic functionality up, and you help building engineering/education tools from it?

Jeff:
467 kb of code.. Nice and complete, basic control theory seems to be all there. I guess I'm lucky there's already basic LTI-system functionality in SciPy's signal processing toolbox.

Ryan:
I'll browse your code tonight, and see how you implemented the basic system block. I'd better give the structure some thought so I can extend it easily to LQG/H2/Hinf later.

Looks like I got my work cut out for me..
Greetz,

Jasper

I think it's very useful, as Control Systems should be one of the items
encapsulated in PyLab_Works.
I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days to embed your libraries.
I might need some help (examples), as my control theory is quit rusty
(educated in "Control Systems Theory" from Olle Elgerd, 1967 ;-)
Although PyLab-Works is still quit premature,
I think it would be an excellent candidate for education
(at the moment I implementing combined help/instruction/fill-in forms).
So I would love to see your course material / instruction / assignments etc,
to see if they can be embedded too.
So maybe not for the current course of you,
but the next course you might be able to use.

cheers,
Stef
