Architecture#

This section contains an overview of the architecture of the solvers API on Python; the classes are similar to the cpp version (shown here) but are split in separate modules.

So far, the publicly available python packages are amplpy-gurobi and amplpy-cplex.

This diagram shows the available classes in three groups:

graph G { size="10,10" layout=fdp subgraph clusterBase { label="base" AMPLModel BaseCallback GenericCallback; } subgraph clusterGurobi { label="amplpy-gurobi" GurobiModel GurobiCallback "Gurobi C entry points" } subgraph clusterCplex { label="amplpy-cplex" CPLEXModel CPLEXCallback "CPLEX C entry points" } clusterBase -- clusterGurobi clusterBase -- clusterCplex }

both amplpy-gurobi and amplpy-cplex contain the base group and the solver-specific classes. In addition to the classes implemented in this library, the modules contain wrappers to the solvers’ native C library functions, useful when implementing a “solver native” usage.

amplpy#

If amplpy is installed, importing the modules add the following functions, which help creating the solver APIs objects and, after solving them, importing them back to AMPL:

  • amplpy.AMPL.exportGurobiModel

  • amplpy.AMPL.exportCplexModel

  • amplpy.AMPL.exportModel(drivername)

  • amplpy.AMPL.import_ampls_solution(AMPLModel)
