Market simulations with Python

[xamdam]

I am interested in market simulation with Python, simulating buyers
and sellers arriving with goods at random times. I looked at SimPy,
it's pretty nice, but all the examples are around congestion problems.
Should I a) dig deeper b) write something from scratch c) look at
another library?

thanks,
max.

You could use SimPy.
