'''
Make a NeuralPop object from a (list of) :class:`~nngt.NeuralGroup`
object(s).
Parameters
----------
groups : list of :class:`~nngt.NeuralGroup` objects
Groups that will be used to form the population. Note that a given
neuron can only belong to a single group, so the groups should form
pairwise disjoints complementary sets.
names : list of str, optional (default: None)
Names that can be used as keys to retreive a specific group. If not
provided, keys will be the group name (if not empty) or the position
of the group in `groups`, stored as a string.
In the latter case, the first group in a population named `pop`
will be retreived by either `pop[0]` or `pop['0']`.
parent : :class:`~nngt.Graph`, optional (default: None)
Parent if the population is created from an exiting graph.
syn_spec : dict, optional (default: static synapse)
Dictionary containg a directed edge between groups as key and the
associated synaptic parameters for the post-synaptic neurons (i.e.
those of the second group) as value.
If a 'default' entry is provided, all unspecified connections will
be set to its value.
meta_groups : list or dict of str/:class:`~nngt.NeuralGroup` items
Additional set of groups which can overlap: a neuron can belong to
several different meta groups. Contrary to the primary groups, meta
groups do therefore no need to be disjoint.
If all meta-groups have a name, they can be passed directly through
a list; otherwise a dict is necessary.
with_model : bool, optional (default: True)
Whether the groups require models (set to False to use populations
for graph theoretical purposes, without NEST interaction)
Example
-------
For synaptic properties, if provided in `syn_spec`, all connections
between groups will be set according to the values.
Keys can be either group names or types (1 for excitatory, -1 for
inhibitory). Because of this, several combination can be available for
the connections between two groups. Because of this, priority is given
to source (presynaptic properties), i.e. NNGT will look for the entry
matching the first group name as source before looking for entries
matching the second group name as target.

Note
----
If the population is not generated from an existing
:class:`~nngt.Graph` and the groups do not contain explicit ids, then
the ids will be generated upon population creation: the first group, of
size N0, will be associated the indices 0 to N0 - 1, the second group
(size N1), will get N0 to N0 + N1 - 1, etc.

Create a new instance of GroupProperties.
Notes
-----
The constraints can be chosen among:
- "avg_deg", "min_deg", "max_deg" (:class:`int`) to constrain the
total degree of the nodes
- "avg/min/max_in_deg", "avg/min/max_out_deg", to work with the
in/out-degrees
- "avg/min/max_betw" (:class:`double`) to constrain the betweenness
centrality
- "in_shape" (:class:`nngt.geometry.Shape`) to chose neurons inside
a given spatial region
Examples
--------
>>> di_constrain = { "avg_deg": 10, "min_betw": 0.001 }
>>> group_prop = GroupProperties(200, constraints=di_constrain)
