Description

There's limited code in Python for working with or simulating copulas. This library

http://firsttimeprogrammer.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/copulalib-how-to-use-copulas-in-python.html
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/copulalib/1.1.0

has some functionality but is tied to outdated dependencies. That code could be used as a starting point in QuantEcon with dependencies only in more modern packages.
