Allows the implementation of Hyper-Heuristics in Python using the problems and heuristics from the HyFlex Java Framework. It relies on Py4J to create a connection between the Python interpreter and the JVM.
Install Py4J following any of the
instructions, and then locates where it
placed the py4j0.x.jar file in your machine.
In the file start_server.sh, replace <path to py4j jar file> with the correct
file path. Give it permission to run and start the JVM server application:
$ chmod +x start_server.sh
$ ./start_server.sh
That's it. Now you can use the Py4J libary in Python to connect to the JVM. See
example_hyper_heuristic.py for an example.
