Install

Preliminaries

• Python 3.11 or higher (exact compatibility might depend on which GAMS version you are using)

• Install GAMS

• Put the GAMS directory in your PATH and/or assign it to the GAMS_DIR environment variable

• GAMS Python bindings — choose one:

  Recommended. Install the gamsapi that matches your installed GAMS version:

  # xx.y.z corresponds to your GAMS version
  pip install gamsapi[transfer]==xx.y.z
  

  Legacy. Use the standalone gdxcc package from PyPI by installing gdxpds with the legacy extra (see below). gdxcc is older and is not version-matched to your GAMS install, but the SWIG-bound C ABI is stable enough that it generally works.

Get the Latest Package

# Recommended (use with the gamsapi install above):
pip install gdxpds

# Legacy (also installs gdxcc; use if you skipped gamsapi):
pip install gdxpds[legacy]

Versions are listed at pypi and https://github.com/NatLabRockies/gdx-pandas/releases.

Verify installation

After installing gdxpds and a matching gamsapi, verify your environment end-to-end with:

gdxpds test

For a quick environment check without running the full round-trip, use gdxpds info — it prints Python, bindings, the resolved GAMS_DIR (and which discovery branch produced it), and any import-time load error. Useful for bug reports. gdxpds --version prints just the version.

Expected output:

Verifying gdxpds installation...
  [OK]   GAMS install found at <your GAMS directory>
  [OK]   GDX bindings loaded: gams.core.gdx (gamsapi)
  [OK]   Read embedded sample.gdx (...)
  [OK]   Round-trip write->read preserves all symbols
  [OK]   Special values (+Inf, -Inf, NaN) survive round-trip

PASSED: gdxpds installation verified.

Development tests

To run the development test suite, clone the repo and run:

pytest tests

If the tests fail due to permission IOErrors, apply chmod g+x and chmod a+x to the tests folder.

Uninstall

pip uninstall gdxpds
