pycutest.import_problem

pycutest.import_problem(problemName, destination=None, sifParams=None, sifOptions=None, efirst=False, lfirst=False, nvfirst=False, quiet=True, drop_fixed_variables=True)

Prepares a problem interface module, imports and initializes it.

Parameters:

• problemName – CUTEst problem name

• destination – the name under which the compiled problem interface is stored in the cache (default = problemName)

• sifParams – SIF file parameters to use (as dict, keys must be strings)

• sifOptions – additional options passed to sifdecode given in the form of a list of strings.

• efirst – order equation constraints first (default True)

• lfirst – order linear constraints first (default True)

• nvfirst – order nonlinear variables before linear variables (default False)

• quiet – suppress output (default True)

• drop_fixed_variables – in the resulting problem object, are fixed variables hidden from the user (default True)

Returns:

a reference to the Python interface class for this problem (class pycutest.CUTEstProblem)
