Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a multivariate statistical technique for estimating complex relationships between observed and latent variables. Although numerous SEM packages exist, each of them has limitations. Some packages are not free or open-source; the most popular package not having this disadvantage is lavaan, but it is written in R language, which is behind current mainstream tendencies that make it harder to be incorporated into developmental pipelines (i.e. bioinformatical ones). Thus we developed the Python package semopy to satisfy those criteria. The paper provides detailed examples of package usage and explains it's inner clockworks. Moreover, we developed the unique generator of SEM models to extensively test SEM packages and demonstrated that semopy significantly outperforms lavaan in execution time and accuracy.
