Here is the PyPI page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cvexp/0.1
And here is the homepage: http://www.aclevername.com/projects/cvexp/ CVExp currently supports solving linear, integer linear, and quadratic optimization problems via lpsolve55, GLPK, and CVXOPT. There are packages readily available in Debian and Ubuntu for python-glpk and python-cvxopt, so installation is easy on these platforms: apt-get install python-setuptools # for easy_install apt-get install python-glpk python-cvxopt easy_install cvexp Here is a quick example of using CVExp+GLPK to solve a problem: from cvexp.builders import var from cvexp.builders import integer from cvexp.builders import minimize from cvexp.translate_glpk import solve X = var('X') # the 'X' name is optional Y = var('Y') # ...and so is 'Y' sol = solve(( Y + 0.1 == X, Y >= 9.8 - X, integer(Y), minimize(Y), ), out_filename='problem.out') # out_filename is optional print 'X =', sol[X] # >>> 5.1 print 'Y =', sol[Y] # >>> 5 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
