Here are the packages with brief descriptions (if available):

[detail level 12345]

CompoundPye
executables
GUI	This module holds the RunGUI-class, which initializes the whole graphical user interface and stores the parameters the user enters
src	This file initializes all sub-packages
Analyzer	Initializes the Analyzer package
analyze_compare	Holds the AnalyzeCompare class, designed to plot results of data created with cp_non_GUI_wrapper.py
analyzer	Beginnings of a general data analyzer for data generated with CompoundPye
Circuits	Provides Circuit-objects, which handle the complete network of Component-objects (components or neurons)
circuit	Holds the basic Circuit class
circuit_array	Provides the CircuitSensorArray class, which is similar to the basic Circuit class, but is designed such that it can handle an array of sensors as inputs
Components	Provides Component and Connection classes, from which the user can build a circuit/network
component	Holds the basic Component class
Conections	Provides Connection classes, that defines strength and target from one component or sensor to another component
Connections
connection	Holds the basic connection class
highpass_filter	Holds the class HighpassFilter, which is a Component with a predefined transfer function to turn it into a high-pass filter
linear_input_filter	Holds the class LinearInputFilter, a Component with a predefined linear transfer function
lowpass_filter	Holds the class LinearInputFilter, a Component with a predefined transfer function turning it into a low-pass filter
transfer_functions	Provides some transfer functions
Graph	This file initializes the Graph module
sensors	Provides functions to determine neighbourhood of ommatidia
GUI	This package adds a GUI to to the CompoundPye-module
circuit_editor	This package contains a graphical circuit editor (QTabWidget), enabling the user to add/remove neurons and specify parameters and connections
mdm_gui	This package contains the main-GUI-class Main_GUI
sensor_editor	This package provides a graphical editor for the user to add/remove/edit sensors (interface between surroundings and the circuit of neurons, sensors are considered as part of Circuit-objects, though)
stimuli_editor	Provides a stimuli-editor widget (StimuliWidget) that allows the user to add/remove/edit stimuli of the agent's Surroundings
ui_tabs	This package contains several QWidgets which are integrated into the main graphical user interface MotionDetectorModel.GUI.mdm_gui.MDM_GUI as tabs
OmmatidialMap	Initializes the OmmatidialMap module, which provides spherical coordinates of ommatidia
read_droso	File to read Drosophila's ommatidia coordinates and acceptance angles from .m-files in this folder
Parser	Extends CompoundPye by a parser that can generate circuits and stimuli from text-files or from parameters specified in the GUI
circuit_parser	Provides functions to generate circuit information from a circuit-file (text-file) to be passed on to MotionDetectorModel.Parser.creator.create_circ_lists
creator	Provides functions that use input parsed with MotionDetector.Parser.sensor_parser and MotionDetector.Parser.circuit_parser or input specified in the GUI to create lists of connected sensors and components
sensor_parser	Parses sensor information from a sensor-file or save sensor information (also from the GUI) to a sensor-file
stimuli_creator	Creates CompoundPye.src.Surroundings.Stimuli.stimulus.Stimulus objects with parameters entered in the GUI
Plotting	Provides some functions and classes to handle plotting of Circuits and its Components
plot_sensor	Provides some functions to plot the outputs and receptive fields of sensors
plot_surroundings	This package provides some functions to plot 1- and 2-dimensional surroundings (and its intensities)
single_detector_plot	Provides functions to plot outputs of a single detector unit
Sensors	Provides Sensor classes
create_array	NOT USED SINCE v0.42! Provides functions to create arrays of sensors (e.g
dummy_sensor	Provides the DummySensor class, which is actually a Sensor-object that does nothing
filter_funcs	Contains filter functions, creating input filters that will be multiplied with an array of input intensities that a sensor 'observes'
photoreceptor	Provides classes (Sensors) that emulate a photoreceptor cell as in van Hateren and Snippe's paper 'Information theoretical evaluation of parametric models of gain control in blowfly photoreceptor cells',2001
sensor	Holds the basic Sensor class
Surroundings	Provides classes to handle the Surroundings of an agent, and classes to create stimuli in these Surroundings
one_dim	Provides the class OneDim, to create one-dimensional Surroundings
Stimuli	Provides classes to create stimuli of different shapes and velocities
one_dim_box	Provides the class OneDimBox, a Stimulus with a predefined box-shape of given length
stimulus	Provides the basic Stimulus class, which can be used to add Stimuli to a Surrounding-object
two_dim_box	Provides the class TwoDimBox, a Stimulus with predefined box-shape
two_dim_sine	Provides the class TwoDimSine, a Stimulus with predefined sines in each of the two Surroundings' dimensions
surroundings	Provides the basic Surroundings class, which handles the surroundings of the agent
video	VIDEO SUPPORT?
system	This file holds the class System, which handles the communication between Surroundings- and Circuit-objects
