Set up your Insight Python Development Environment
If you wish to use Python for your optimization model, you must perform some additional installation tasks prior to beginning work. Starting with
FICO® Xpress 8.9, and
FICO® Xpress Insight 4.53, you are able to develop
Xpress Insight apps starting from a pure Python model.
New Developers
New developers will benefit from understanding the concepts and components that comprise the FICO Xpress Optimization Suite. For more, see the Concepts and Components section of the Introduction in the FICO Xpress Insight User and System Administration Guide. There are a number of tasks you must complete before you can begin developing Insight Python apps.Notes for Insight Developers with Mosel experience
Xpress has implemented Python integration through a Python module named
xpressinsight to enable the development of Xpress Insight apps in Python. The entire app is written in the Python programming language. The Mosel modeling language is not used. There is no relation between the
xpressinsight Python module and the
python3 Mosel module. They are technically completely different.
|
Note The
python3 Mosel module extends the Mosel modeling language to allow Python commands to be executed from within Mosel. It is not possible to use any Mosel module in Python. In particular, it is not possible to use the
python3 Mosel module in Python.
The python3 executable on Linux and Mac must not be confused with the python3 Mosel module. |
