Ruly-DMN
ruly-dmn is a python package that offers a limited implementation of the DMN
standard, with additional features. It relies on the
ruly rule engine to make decisions
and derive new rules. It can be used as a library or as a command line tool.
The command line tool assumes that the DMN diagrams are defined as XML files,
in the format specified by the Camunda
modeler. The recommended workflow is to
use the Camunda modeler to create diagrams and initial decision tables and then
pass them to functions in this package, so it can make decisions or derive new
rules. See the examples directory for examples of working DMN files that can
both be opened in the Camunda modeler and passed to the functions of this
package.
The current limitations, in regard to the complete DMN standard:

only available hit policies are unique, first and any
there are no constraints on enumerated variables when user is entering new
rules
only one output column in decision tables is allowed
only available variable comparision (when making decisions) is for equality
visual diagrams are not taken into account when creating rule engine rules,
only decision tables
S-Feel and other code evaluations in rules are not supported

Installation
To install, call:
pip install ruly-dmn

Usage
When the package is installed, it can be used either by importing its modules
(see documentation for more details), or by
calling ruly-dmn in command line. Alternatively, python -m ruly_dmn.main
may be used instead of the command line tool.
After installation, it should be possible to call ruly-dmn with one of the DMN
diagrams in the example directories, i.e.:
ruly-dmn -o o.dmn examples/0001/diagram.dmn Beverage Season="Spring"

Which should output Beverage = Pinot Noir. The tool also may create new rules
and, if it does, these rules should be written in o.dmn file. For more
information on how the command line tool works, call ruly-dmn --help
Development environment
To install development dependencies, call
pip install -r requirements.txt

This will, among other packages, install doit, which is ruly-dmn's build
tool. Use this tool to perform various actions like testing, building
documentation, linting check, etc. For the list of all available tasks, call:
doit list
