Optional: SLiM integration¶

SLiM (Selection on Linked Mutations) is a forward population-genetic simulator. gpvolve-v2 has a stub backend that wraps SLiM output and tskit tree sequences. Install the optional sim extra:

uv pip install 'gpvolve-v2[sim]'

This pulls in pyslim >=1.0 and tskit >=0.5. Without the extra, the backend raises ImportError with the install hint.

from gpvolve.simulate import slim_available, tskit_available

if slim_available() and tskit_available():
    ...  # run a SLiM-backed analysis

The v2.0.0 release ships only the availability probes. The full SLiM script generator (ported from the harmsm/gpvolve fork) is on the roadmap; follow #TBD for status.
