Overview

   PyGLPK is a Python module which encapsulates the functionality of the GNU
   Linear Programming Kit (GLPK). The GLPK allows one to specify linear
   programs (LPs) and mixed integer programs (MIPs), and to solve them with
   either simplex, interior-point, or branch-and-bound algorithms. The goal
   of PyGLPK is to give one access to all documented functionality of GLPK.

Documentation

   The HTML documentation included with the release in the directory html
   contains information on building, testing, installation and documentation
   of all features of the module.

Building and Installing

   Building this module requires that the user have installed the GLPK 4.18
   or later and GMP libraries. The module builds and appears to work on my
   test files in Python 2.4, and 2.5, with GLPK 4.18 through 4.31. Earlier
   versions of Python and GLPK will not work.

   Ideally, the following will work:

     * make
     * make test
     * make install, or perhaps sudo make install

   See the HTML documentation for troubleshooting information.
