Towards a New and Advanced Partial Order Program : Pyhasse

The development of partial order tools applicable for case studies gets more and more enhanced. Although there is established software, like WHasse and additionally a new complex software RAPID is under development, a program system should be made available for everyone, which can be quickly adapted to any new theoretical aspect and can be helpful in application. The interpreter language PYTHON provides an ideal basis for this aim. It is an object-oriented language, available on multiple platforms (hardware systems) and multiple operating systems. PYTHON, in cooperation with the graphical user interface programming tool Tkinter (of Tk/Tcl), allows quick development and testing. Here the current version of PyHasse is shown. PyHasse, written in PYTHON, is still under development and is considered as a test version. Not all its features can here be demonstrated. In this paper we concentrate on some selected ones. PyHasse will be applied in order to model toxicities of chemicals by topological indicators and to perform a sensitivity study in a ranking study of pollution in Baden-Württemberg, a south-western state in Germany.
