#+TITLE: pubeval for Python

=pubeval= was originally created by Gerald Tesauro <tesauro@watson.ibm.com> for
evaluating the performance of backgammon playing algorithms. This Python
extension is a port of Tesauro's algorithm.

* Usage

The extension is named =pubeval= and can be imported by using =import pubeval=
after installation.

The only method defined by this extension is =pubeval.eval(race, board)=. The
arguments to this method matches the arguments required by the original
=pubeval= function, i.e. the method takes as arguments a boolean specifying
whether the algorithm is in a non-contact "race" situation and a tuple with 28
integer entries representing the board in the same format as the original
=pubeval.c=.
