Python SPICE simulator

by @pkoird

For the life of me, I could never get electronics. I used to love the idea of me coming up with electronic circuit designs, but the arcane art of electronics never really clicked for me because I just couldn't intuitively grasp the maths no matter which book I read (AoE, I'm looking at you). But then it hit me, I don't need maths, I just need a formal language to represent the circuits. So over the past few weeks, I worked on a code your own spice (the electronic simulator). So now, for the first time in history, I finally understand how circuits work and how they are designed. And I did this all by coding circuits in python and making my own functional spice (which used to seem impossible at one point, it's surprising how easy it is though).
