PuLP is an LP modeler written in python. PuLP can generate MPS or LP files
and call GLPK[1], COIN CLP/CBC[2], CPLEX[3], GUROBI[4] and MOSEK[5] to solve linear
problems.

See the examples directory for examples.

The examples require at least a solver in your PATH or a shared library file.

Documentation is found on https://www.coin-or.org/PuLP/.
A comprehensive wiki can be found at https://www.coin-or.org/PuLP/

Use LpVariable() to create new variables. To create a variable 0 <= x <= 3
>>> x = LpVariable("x", 0, 3)

To create a variable 0 <= y <= 1
>>> y = LpVariable("y", 0, 1)

Use LpProblem() to create new problems. Create "myProblem"
>>> prob = LpProblem("myProblem", const.LpMinimize)

Combine variables to create expressions and constraints and add them to the
problem.
>>> prob += x + y <= 2

If you add an expression (not a constraint), it will
become the objective.
>>> prob += -4 * x + y

Choose a solver and solve the problem. ex:
>>> status = prob.solve(PULP_CBC_CMD(msg=0))

Display the status of the solution
>>> const.LpStatus[status]
'Optimal'

You can get the value of the variables using value(). ex:
>>> value(x)
2.0

Exported Classes:
    - LpProblem -- Container class for a Linear programming problem
    - LpVariable -- Variables that are added to constraints in the LP
    - LpConstraint -- A constraint of the general form
      a1x1+a2x2 ...anxn (<=, =, >=) b
    - LpConstraintVar -- Used to construct a column of the model in column-wise
      modelling

Exported Functions:
    - value() -- Finds the value of a variable or expression
    - lpSum() -- given a list of the form [a1*x1, a2x2, ..., anxn] will construct
      a linear expression to be used as a constraint or variable
    - lpDot() --given two lists of the form [a1, a2, ..., an] and
      [ x1, x2, ..., xn] will construct a linear epression to be used
      as a constraint or variable
