Script File Formats

The PoPy script formats are shown in Table 61:-

A PoPy script file is a text file that defines how PoPy works with a PK/PD model. Each configuration file typically has a ‘.pyml’ file extension. The file suffix .pyml stands for PoPy YAML format.

To run a PoPy command on a particular script, Open a PoPy Command Prompt in the directory containing the script file and type:-

popy XXXX YYYY.pyml

Where XXXX is one of the Command Line Tools, such as run, create, check or format. And YYYY.pyml is the file name of the script itself. For example:-

popy run my_fit_file.pyml

for running a script to fit PK/PD parameters to a pre-existing data set, or:-

popy create gen my_gen_file.pyml

for creating a new script file that will generate synthetic PK/PD data.

PoPy will first parse the script to check it is in the correct format. If so, PoPy will then process the script.

A PoPy script file can be one of multiple formats, as specified at the start of each script, in METHOD_OPTIONS. For example a Fit Script starts with:-

METHOD_OPTIONS: {py_module: fit}

And a Gen Script starts with:-

METHOD_OPTIONS: {py_module: gen}
