PuLP is a high-level modelling library that leverages the power of thePython language and allows the user to create programs using expressions thatare natural to the Python language, avoiding special syntax and keywords wher-ever IntroductionPuLP is a library for the Python scripting language that enables users to describemathematical programs.

This style is well established and focuses on readability and maintainability of code over “clever” manipulations that are more terse but are considered harmful to the maintain-ability of software projects. PuLP builds on this style by using the natural idioms of Python programming wherever possible. It does this by having very few spe-
