Example
The following creates two problems, one before and one after calling setdefaultcontrol('presolve'):

    xpress.controls.presolve = 0
    p1 = xpress.problem()
    xpress.setdefaultcontrol('presolve')
    p2 = xpress.problem()
    print('I bet p1.controls.presolve is 0:          ', p1.controls.presolve)
    print('I bet p2.controls.presolve is its default:', p2.controls.presolve)
