# tcheckerpy

**tcheckerpy** is a Python interface to the [TChecker](https://github.com/Echtzeitsysteme/tchecker/) model checker, allowing you to analyze and compare timed automata models directly from Python.  
It provides access to the following TChecker tools:

- tck-compare
- tck-liveness
- tck-reach
- tck-simulate
- tck-syntax

For detailed documentation, refer to the [TChecker Wiki](https://github.com/ticktac-project/tchecker/wiki/Using-TChecker).

## Installation

You can install `tcheckerpy` via PyPI:

```bash
pip install tcheckerpy
```

## Usage Example

```python

# import required tools
from tcheckerpy.tools import tck_reach, tck_syntax

# read declaration of timed automata network from .txt or .tck file into string
with open(system_declaration_path) as file:
        system = file.read()

# raise error if syntax is incorrect
tck_syntax.check(system)

# perform reachability analysis
result, stats, certificate = tck_reach.reach(system, tck_reach.Algorithm.REACH, certificate = tck_reach.Certificate.GRAPH)
print(result)
print(stats)
print(certificate)

```
