PuLP is an LP modeler written in Python. PuLP can generate MPS or LP files
and call GLPK_, COIN-OR CLP/`CBC`_, CPLEX_, GUROBI_, MOSEK_, XPRESS_, CHOCO_, MIPCL_, SCIP_ to solve linear
problems.
Installation
================
The easiest way to install pulp is via `PyPi <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PuLP>`_
If pip is available on your system::
python -m pip install pulp
Otherwise follow the download instructions on the PyPi page.
If you want to install the latest version from github you can run the following::
python -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/coin-or/pulp
On Linux and OSX systems the tests must be run to make the default
solver executable.
::
sudo pulptest
Examples
================
See the examples directory for examples.
PuLP requires Python 2.7 or Python >= 3.4.
The examples use the default solver (CBC). To use other solvers they must be available (installed and accessible). For more information on how to do that, see the `guide on configuring solvers <https://coin-or.github.io/pulp/guides/how_to_configure_solvers.html>`_.
Documentation
================
Documentation is found on https://coin-or.github.io/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", LpMinimize)
Combine variables to create expressions and constraints, then 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
To solve with the default included solver::
status = prob.solve()
To use another sovler to solve the problem::
status = prob.solve(GLPK(msg = 0))
Display the status of the solution::
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 expression to be used as a constraint or variable
Building the documentation
--------------------------
The PuLP documentation is built with `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org>`_. We recommended using a
`virtual environment <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>`_ to build the documentation locally.
To build, run the following in a terminal window, in the PuLP root directory
::
cd pulp
python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
cd doc
make html
A folder named html will be created inside the ``build/`` directory.
The home page for the documentation is ``doc/build/html/index.html`` which can be opened in a browser.
