This paper presents a new Python software for the parametric design of stabilizing feedback laws with time delays, called Partial Pole Placement via Delay Action (P3$\delta$). After an introduction recalling recent theoretical results on the multiplicity-induced-dominancy (MID) and coexisting real roots-induced-dominancy (CRRID) properties and their use for the feedback stabilization of control systems operating under time delays, the paper presents the current version of P3$\delta$, which relies on the MID property to compute delayed stabilizing feedback laws for scalar differential equations with a single delay. We detail in particular its graphical user interface (GUI), which allows the user to input the necessary information and obtain the results of the analysis done by the software. These results include the parameters stabilizing the closed-loop system, graphical representations of the spectrum of the closed-loop system, simulations of solutions in the time domain, and a sensitivity analysis with respect to uncertain delays.
