+ModelX
+------
+
+https://docs.modelx.io/en/latest/
+
+modelx is a Python package to build object-oriented models consisting of formulas and values to carry out complex calculations. You can think of it as a hierarchical and multidimensional extension of spreadsheet, but there's so much more to it!
+
+modelx enables you to interactively develop, run and scrutinize complex models in smart ways:
+
+* Only basic Python knowledge required
+* Formulas defined by Python functions
+* Object-oriented, supports composition and inheritance
+* Parameterization
+* Dependency tracing
+* Reading from Excel and CSV files
+* GUI as Spyder plugin (spyder-modelx)
+* Saving to text files, enabling use of version control systems
+* Document integration enabling use of document generators
+* Pandas interface
