Research direction

Start with the Python developer tutorial at http://fuelcycle.org/arche/tutorial_py/index.html and compare it with the DRE guide at http://fuelcycle.org/arche/dre.html and the C++ archetype tutorial's DRE section. Done means the Python tutorial explains how to implement DRE using the Python toolkit's available methods, while accounting for the absence of buy_policy and sell_policy.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, the python developer tutorial page does not include methods to implement DRE. However, the guide exists in the DRE page. Although it might be obvious to an observant developer, the Python archetype developer tutorial would be more complete if it went over the DRE implementation as well.

The C++ archetype developer tutorial implements DRE with buy_policy and sell_policy. This toolkit is not available when developing with python.
