Pystra (Python Structural Reliability Analysis) is a python package for structural reliability analysis. Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a large suite of problems. Along with core reliability analysis functionality, Pystra includes methods for summarizing output. Pystra is also closely integrated with the usual python scientific packages workflow, numpy and scipy; in particular, all statistical distributions in Scipy can be used in reliability modeling.
