Linac dynamics simulation capabilities of the PyORBIT code are discussed. The PyORBIT is an open source and a further development of the original ORBIT code that was developed and used for design, studies, and commissioning of the SNS ring. The PyORBIT code like the original one has a two layers structure. The C++ is used to perform time consuming computations, and a program flow is controlled from the Python language shell. The flexible structure allowed using the PyORBIT also for linac dynamics simulations. The benchmark of the PyORBIT with Parmila and the XAL Online model is presented.
