Explanation Module

[mvasquezb]

Wondering if there's any way to implement an explanation module to show reasoning to the end user and if there's any utility in the framework to make it straightforward.

[nilp0inter]

There is no explanation module per se, but you can use the watch utility to see what is happening inside pyknow at various levels:

For example:

from pyknow import watch
watch('RULES')  # Show what rules are triggered
watch('FACTS')  # Show asserted and retracted facts
watch('ACTIVATIONS')  # Show what rules are activated
watch('AGENDA')  # Agenda changes

To hide details you can use unwatch with the same parameters.

Do you have in mind any other type of reasoning reporting? If so, please provide some examples.
