Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing py:set and py:runresult behavior, then define how agent variables become read-only dict-like Python objects. Done means agents can be passed to Python and the documentation clearly states that values may become stale after NetLogo changes.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I think they should be represented as dict-like objects, where keys are agent variables.
For a first pass, they should be read-only.
One tricky thing is keeping them in sync with NetLogo. For instance:
py:set "t" turtle 0
ask turtle 0 [ set color red ]
print py:runresult "t['color']" ;; This will be out of date
I think just not caring is good enough for a first pass, as long as it's clear in the docs. Otherwise, we'd have to track and sync all agent-objects on every call, which sounds awful.
