pplpy 0.3

Python PPL wrapper

This Python package provides a wrapper to the C++ Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL).

The whole package is essentially a copy/paste of the corresponding file from the Sage software. Though, the pplpy package does not need Sage and can be used directly from Python.

How it works

The names of objects and methods are the same as in the library:

>>> import ppl
>>> x = ppl.Variable(0)
>>> y = ppl.Variable(1)
>>> z = ppl.Variable(2)
>>> cs = ppl.Constraint_System()
>>> cs.insert(x >= 0)
>>> cs.insert(y >= 0)
>>> cs.insert(z >= 0)
>>> cs.insert(x + y + z == 1)
>>> poly = ppl.C_Polyhedron(cs)
>>> poly.minimized_generators()
Generator_System {point(1/1, 0/1, 0/1), point(0/1, 1/1, 0/1), point(0/1, 0/1, 1/1)}
