Suitable Python libraries for neuroevolution experiments

The Python programming language is one of the most popular languages for activities related to machine learning and research and development in the field of artificial intelligence. The most prominent frameworks are either written in Python or provide corresponding interfaces. Such popularity can be explained by Python's short learning curve and its nature as a scriptable language, which allows experiments to take place quickly. Thus, following a general trend in the machine learning community, several libraries were written in Python with the support for neuroevolution, and the number of libraries continues to grow over time. In this section, we will look at the most stable Python libraries for experiments in the field of evolutionary algorithms.
