Paxos Consensus Algorithm (Python Implementation)

This repository contains a Python implementation of the Paxos consensus algorithm. Paxos is a protocol for achieving consensus in a network of unreliable or distributed nodes, commonly used in distributed systems to ensure consistency.

Features

• Basic Paxos roles: Proposer, Acceptor, Learner
• Message passing simulation
• Fault tolerance demonstration
• Easily extensible for advanced Paxos variants

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/paxos.git
   cd paxos

Usage

To run the Paxos simulation:

uv run main.py

You can modify parameters or node configurations in main.py or other source files as needed.

Project Structure

• main.py: Entry point for running the simulation
• proposer.py, acceptor.py, learner.py: Paxos roles
• Other .py files: Supporting modules
