        You can perform basic operations like mutation, crossover, and evaluation of genotypes.
        This way you can perform evolution controlled by python as well as access and manipulate genotypes.
        You can even design and use in evolution your own genetic representation implemented entirely in python.

        You need to provide one or two parameters when you run this class: the path to Framsticks CLI
