Getting started

The Xpress Python module is imported as follows:

import xpress

A complete list of methods and constants available in the module is obtained by running the Python command dir(xpress). Because all types and methods must be called by prepending "xpress.", it is advisable to alias the module name upon import:

import xpress as xp

We assume that this is the way the module is imported from now on. It is also possible to import all methods and types to avoid prepending the module name or its alias, but this practice is usually advised against:

from xpress import *
