Pulp interface xpress py
This pull request adds a new solver XPRESS_PY
. Unlike the existing XPRESS
solver, the new solver does not invoke an external process (the Xpress command line tool) but instead uses the Xpress Python API directly.
This is more flexible and gives access to more features (in fact all) of the Xpress optimizer.
We also introduce an alias XPRESS_CMD
for the existing XPRESS
solver to meet the naming conventions that were established for other solvers (CMD
goes through an external command, PY
uses the solver's Python API).
