We present a family of Python modules for the numerical integration of ordinary, delay, or stochastic differential equations. The key features are that the user enters the derivative symbolically and it is just-in-time-compiled, allowing the user to efficiently integrate differential equations from a higher-level interpreted language. The presented modules are particularly suited for large systems of differential equations such as used to describe dynamics on complex networks. Through the selected method of input, the presented modules also allow to almost completely automatize the process of estimating regular as well as transversal Lyapunov exponents for ordinary and delay differential equations.
