make_people#

class make_people(sim, popdict=None, die=True, reset=False, recreate=False, verbose=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Make the actual people for the simulation.

Usually called via sim.initialize(). While in theory this function can be called directly by the user, usually it’s better to call cv.People() directly.

Parameters:

  • sim (Sim) – the simulation object; population parameters are taken from the sim object

  • popdict (any) – if supplied, use this population dictionary instead of generating a new one; can be a dict, SynthPop, or People object

  • die (bool) – whether or not to fail if synthetic populations are requested but not available

  • reset (bool) – whether to force population creation even if self.popdict/self.people exists

  • recreate (bool) – whether to recreate (re-instantiate) the People object even if already supplied

  • verbose (bool) – level of detail to print

  • kwargs (dict) – passed to make_randpop() or make_synthpop()

Returns:

people

Return type:

people (People)
