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.

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 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:
makemake testmake install, or perhaps sudo make installSee the HTML documentation for troubleshooting information.
