I am trying to find a wrapper to do linear programming within python. I am using an ubuntu machine and I have apt-get'd lp_solve, which works just fine. If someone knows of a wrapper that will work with that that'd be great.
I also heard that scipy has a wrapper, however, I can't find any documentation on it, nor can I seem to find it with dir(). If anyone knows where there is good documentation on this I would love to use that (the more native to python the better imo). I have tried many things, including http://lpsolve.sourceforge.net/5.5/Python.htm, openopt, and cvxopt. I can't seem to find any with enough documentation to get me off the ground. Some I can't compile, some I can't even find out how to compile. If anyone knows of an LP package (preferably with IP as well, like lp_solve has), that interfaces well with python and has enough documentation to get a dependency newb like myself off the ground that would be great. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
