Add support for 'timeout' parameter.
Provides support for the timeout
parameter. The timeout
parameter is the positive integer seconds before either returning the optimal result or raising a timeout error.
The parameter defaults as 0
, meaning no timeout.
In current hotyak/pylpsolve@master, if a timeout occurrs and is infeasible, a general LPException
will be raised, identified by the message "Error 7: Timeout Occurred."
. If a timeout occurs and the result was feasible, a warning will be printed with the string ""Solver solution suboptimal"
.
Under #7, if a timeout occurs and is infeasible, an LPTimeout
instance will be raised. If a timeout occurs and the result is feasible, an LPSuboptimalException
is raised instead (and the solver result can be used). This allows a timeout to be set, preventing unbounded computation, while still being able to programmatically identify a suboptimal result.
