Open Source Python Reinforcement Learning Frameworks

Coach is a python framework that models the interaction between an agent and an environment in a modular way. With Coach, it is possible to model an agent by combining various building blocks, and training the agent on multiple environments. The available environments allow testing the agent in different fields such as robotics, autonomous driving, games and more. It exposes a set of easy-to-use APIs for experimenting with new RL algorithms and allows simple integration of new environments to solve. Coach collects statistics from the training process and supports advanced visualization techniques for debugging the agent being trained. Coach supports many state-of-the-art reinforcement learning algorithms, which are separated into three main classes - value optimization, policy optimization, and imitation learning. Coach supports a large number of environments which can be solved using reinforcement learning.

Gym by OpenAI is a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms. It supports teaching agents, everything from walking to playing games like Pong or Pinball. Open source interface to reinforce learning tasks. The gym library provides an easy-to-use suite of reinforcement learning tasks. Gym provides the environment, you provide the algorithm. You can write your agent using your existing numerical computation library, such as TensorFlow or Theano. It makes no assumptions about the structure of your agent, and is compatible with any numerical computation library, such as TensorFlow or Theano. The gym library is a collection of test problems — environments — that you can use to work out your reinforcement learning algorithms. These environments have a shared interface, allowing you to write general algorithms.
