A few months ago, I proposed to the developers of the SteemSTEM/Utopian ecosystem to start developing together a new program that could help state-of-the-art research for new phenomena in particle physics. The original idea is detailed here.

Many people were enthusiast at that time, and a small group of 5-6 people started working.
A few weeks later, we (more in particular @irelandscape and myself) tackled the first set of proposed tasks.
Whilst we are not done yet (the list of tasks was probably too large for a start of a project), I take the opportunity of this post to report what we did so far.
It does not consist in much, especially because most of us were very busy, but we did some stuff that is available from this GitHub repository.
Whilst the main task implied to create routines to deal with the parameters associated with a given particle physics theory, we first started to build a command line interface (CLI) that will serve the entire PyRules project.
This command line interface consists in an extension of the Python cmd library, with several features:
shell command so that we could execute shell commands directly from the CLI.

In addition, a general class to deal with parameters has already been developed. It has the following features:
Some other methods allowing to act on the parameters will have to be implemented, but this will be detailed in the next task request.
