Petri nets in python

A quick implementation of a Petri net runner in python.

Run with python 2 or 3, for the example coded up in in __main__, via

python petri_net.py --firings 10 --marking 1 2 3 2

Modeling approach

• define Petri nets in terms of their transactions
• define transactions in terms of the actions of their arcs
• define arcs in terms with their action on their in- or outgoing place
• define places as basic containers
