  abstract= "PyCSP was introduced two years ago and has since been used
     by a number of programmers, especially students. The
     original motivation behind PyCSP was a conviction that both
     Python and CSP are tools that are especially well suited for
     programmers and scientists in other fields than computer
     science. Working under this premise the original PyCSP was
     very similar to JCSP and the motivation was simply to
     provide CSP to the Python community in the JCSP tradition.
     After two years we have concluded that PyCSP is indeed a
     usable tool for the target users; however many of them have
     raised some of the same issues with PyCSP as with JCSP. The
     many channel types, lack of output guards and
     external choice wrapped in the select-then-execute mechanism
     were frequent complaints. In this work we revisit PyCSP and
     address the issues that have been raised. The result is a
     much simpler PyCSP with only one channel type, support for
     output guards, and external choice that is closer to that of
     occam than JCSP."
