HARK.helpers.copy_module_to_local(full_module_name)

This function contains simple code to copy a submodule to a location on your hard drive, as specified by you. The purpose of this code is to provide users with a simple way to access a copy of code that usually sits deep in the Econ-ARK package structure, for purposes of tinkering and experimenting directly. This is meant to be a simple way to explore HARK code. To interact with the codebase under active development, please refer to the documentation under github.com/econ-ark/HARK/

To execute, do the following on the Python command line:

from HARK.core import copy_module_to_local copy_module_to_local(“FULL-HARK-MODULE-NAME-HERE”)

For example, if you want SolvingMicroDSOPs you would enter

from HARK.core import copy_module_to_local copy_module_to_local(“HARK.SolvingMicroDSOPs”)
