Currently, class names are not correctly formatted following PEP 8. See also.

Birth is currently not customizable beyond rate. Sex ratio needs to be a variable as well.

Behavior is currently carried out by communities, but ultimately it is individuals and households who enact these behaviors. Person objects need to have these behaviors personally, and have learning/transmission rules.

From the to do list:
Inheritance, locality, fragmentation (And later other rules) need to be conducted by individuals, and be inherited or learned, with those methods of inheritance/learning also definable (and inherited/learned themselves.)

This means that world progresses teh simulation and has a way of accessing all people, randomizing the order, and carrying out the events of the year.

The behavior subpackage is missing class definitions, which would make it easier to verify that they each inheritance rule, fragmentation rule, etc. actually do what they should and fit into the rest of the simulation.

When a specific class is required as input, make sure that the input is of the correct type, and provide an error message. #5 will make this easier.

The current household definitions are very limited, and other formats need to be provided for extensively as well. Turn residency into a subpackage, and from there expand out into other definitions. Du and Kamakura 2006, for example.

All properties should be defined for Person, House, Community, and Worljd classes and include a log in a Diary object as part of the set_ function. Diaries can be part of main or narrative, whatever helps you sleep at night.
