agent-based simulation: performance issue: Python vs NetLogo & Repast

Question

I\'m replicating a small piece of Sugarscape agent simulation model in Python 3. I found the performance of my code is ~3 times slower than that of NetLogo. Is it likely the pro

This is an old question, but I suggest you look into using NumPy for speeding up your operations. Places where you use dicts and lists which are logically organized (1-, 2-, 3-, or N-dimensional grid) homogenous data object (all integers, or all floats, etc) will have less overhead when represented and accessed as Numpy arrays.
