Shimmy is an API conversion tool providing Gymnasium and PettingZoo bindings for popular external reinforcement learning environments.

The documentation website is at shimmy.farama.org and we have a public discord server (which we also use to coordinate development work) that you can join here: https://discord.gg/nhvKkYa6qX

Supported APIs

Installation and Usage

To install Shimmy from PyPI:

pip install shimmy

To install required dependencies for environments, specify them as follows:

pip install shimmy[bsuite, atari]

Choices: gym-v21, gym-v26, atari, bsuite, dm-control, dm-control-multi-agent, openspiel, meltingpot

For development and testing:

pip install shimmy[all, testing]

At a glance

This is an example of using Shimmy to convert DM Control environments into a Gymnasium compatible environment:

import gymnasium as gym
from shimmy.registration import DM_CONTROL_SUITE_ENVS

env_ids = [f"dm_control/{'-'.join(item)}-v0" for item in DM_CONTROL_SUITE_ENVS]
print(env_ids)

env = gym.make(env_ids[0])
env_flatten = gym.wrappers.FlattenObservation(env)
print(env_ids[0])
print("===🌎", env.observation_space)
print("===🕹️", env.action_space)
print("---flattened 🌎", env_flatten.observation_space)
print("---flattened 🕹️", env_flatten.action_space)
