pplitepy 0.0.51

Python pplite wrapper

This Python package provides a wrapper to the C++ package pplite.

How it works

The names of objects and methods are a spelled out version of the objects and methods in the library:

>>> import pplite
>>> x = pplite.Variable(0)
>>> y = pplite.Variable(1)
>>> z = pplite.Variable(2)
>>> cons = [x >= 0, y >= 0, z > 0, x + y + z == 1]
>>> poly = pplite.NNC_Polyhedron(spec_elem = "universe", dim_type = 3, topology = "nnc")
>>> poly.add_constraints(cons)
>>> poly
x0+x1+x2-1==0, x0>=0, x1>=0, -x0-x1+1>0
>>> poly.generators()
[p(x2), c(x0), c(x1)]

The available objects and functions from pplite Python module are:

• Variable, Linear_Expression, Affine_Expression (defined in pplite.linear_algebra)

• Constraint (defined in pplite.constraint)

• Interval (defined in pplie.intervals)

• Bounding_Box_t, Bounding_Box_f (defined in pplite.bounding_box)

• PPliteGenerator, Point, Closure_point, Line, Ray (defined in pplite.generators)

• NNC_Polyhedron (defined in pplite.polyhedron)

Installation

The project is available at Python Package Index and can be installed with pip. It is reccomened to create a virtual enviorment (suggested name venv-pplite) when installing the package.:

$ python3 -m venv venv-pplite
$ . ./venv-pplite/bin/activate
(venv-pplite) $ pip install pplitepy

The package should be accessed from the virtual enviroment:

(venv-pplite) $ python3
>>> import pplite

Using from Cython

All Python classes from pplpy are extension types and can be used with Cython. Most extension type carries an attribute thisptr that holds a pointer to the corresponding C++ object from ppl.
