""" Python Environment API for the ML-Agents toolkit The aim of this API is to expose Agents evolving in a simulation to perform reinforcement learning on. This API supports multi-agent scenarios and groups similar Agents (same observations, actions spaces and behavior) together. These groups of Agents are identified by their BehaviorName. For performance reasons, the data of each group of agents is processed in a batched manner. Agents are identified by a unique AgentId identifier that allows tracking of Agents across simulation steps. Note that there is no guarantee that the number or order of the Agents in the state will be consistent across simulation steps. A simulation steps corresponds to moving the simulation forward until at least one agent in the simulation sends its observations to Python again. Since Agents can request decisions at different frequencies, a simulation step does not necessarily correspond to a fixed simulation time increment.
