lclpy 1.0.1

A localsearch library.

lclpy

Lclpy is a localsearch library implemented in python.

Getting Started

Here, you will find a simple guide to install the library on your system.

Prerequisites

The library is intended to be installed with pip. Make sure pip is installed on your system. (It's probably included with your python implementation, but it doesn't hurt to check.)

After you've made sure pip is installed, install the following packages:

setuptools

pip install setuptools

You will be notified if it is already installed. This isn't be a problem.

Installing

After the prequisites have been properly installed, it's time to install lclpy. Do not worry about dependencies and such, setuptools should take care of those.

pip install lclpy

You can easily test if it's installed by using the interactive interpreter.

Depending on your local installation, it might also be possible to start the interactive interpreter by using:

python

or

py

Once inside the interpreter, try the following command:

import lclpy

If it succeeds without errors, lclpy is installed.

Usage

If you have any questions of how to use the library, you can download the project from github and check the documentation in the docs/html folder. You can also check the docstrings of a module in the interactive interpreter like this:

print(module_alias.__doc__)

There are also several jupyter notebooks that demonstrate the use of some classes. These notebooks can be found in the project on github in the notebooks folder.

Tests

Most of the modules of lclpy have some doctests included.

One can perform these by importing a module and then using the following code in the interactive interpreter:

import doctest

doctest.testmod(module_alias)

If there are no failed tests, everything is fine.
