or, clone the repository and install:
git clone https://github.com/whitemech/Plan4Past.git
cd Plan4Past
pip install .

Quickstart
You can use the plan4past package in two ways: as a library, and as a CLI tool.
As a library
This is an example of how you can encode a PPLTL goal formula into a PDDL domain and problem programmatically.
from pathlib import Path
from pddl.formatter import domain_to_string, problem_to_string
from pddl.parser.domain import DomainParser
from pddl.parser.problem import ProblemParser
from pylogics.parsers import parse_pltl
from plan4past.compiler import Compiler

formula = "on_b_a & O(ontable_c)"
domain_parser = DomainParser()
problem_parser = ProblemParser()

domain = domain_parser(Path("examples/pddl/domain.pddl").read_text(encoding="utf-8"))
problem = problem_parser(Path("examples/pddl/p-0.pddl").read_text(encoding="utf-8"))
goal = parse_pltl(formula)

compiler = Compiler(domain, problem, goal)
compiler.compile()
compiled_domain, compiled_problem = compiler.result

try:
with open("./new-domain.pddl", "w+", encoding="utf-8") as d:
d.write(domain_to_string(compiled_domain))
with open("./new-problem.pddl", "w+", encoding="utf-8") as p:
p.write(problem_to_string(compiled_problem))
except Exception as e:
raise IOError(
"[ERROR]: Something wrong occurred while writing the compiled domain and problem."
) from e

By executing the code above, you will obtain a new-domain.pddl as well as a new-problem.pddl in output.
As a CLI tool
The package can also be used as a CLI tool. The supported command is:
plan4past -d DOMAIN_FILE -p PROBLEM_FILE -g "PPLTL_FORMULA" [-m MAPPING]

where DOMAIN_FILE and PROBLEM_FILE are the PDDL domain and problem files, respectively, and PPLTL_FORMULA is the
goal formula expressed in Pure-Past Linear Temporal Logic.
The optional MAPPING file is a mapping between the PDDL objects and the PPLTL formula's atomic propositions.
For instance:
plan4past -d examples/pddl/domain.pddl -p examples/pddl/p-0.pddl -g "ontable_c & O(on_b_a)"

Docker & Apptainer images
A Docker image as well as an Apptainer image are available for Plan4Past.


To use Docker:
docker build -t plan4past . and docker run --rm -it plan4past


To use Apptainer:


apptainer build plan4past.sif plan4past.def

# to launch the tool:
./plan4past.sif -d examples/pddl/domain.pddl -p examples/pddl/p-0.pddl -g "ontable_c & O(on_b_a)"
