[jiho yoon]

Hi,

I am trying to import gurobi 5.0 (32bits) in python3.2 by using

from gurobipy import *

but it does not work... is 5.0 working in python3.2?

[Greg Glockner]

Python3 is not supported.

It is not necessary to install your own copy of Python - one is provided with the Gurobi software.

If you are a Python expert and you want to install gurobipy into your own (supported) Python distribution, search the Gurobi website for setup.py, which will explain how to do it.

I'm so sorry to bother you...but it does not work even I just followed the instruction.

Is it possible to use gurobi 5.0 in python 2.7.3?

As I know I cannot download 2.7.2 now.

Because the Gurobi is goint to be used as a extension of my python code, I need to it in the python.  

Please let me know how to load Gurobi in python 2.7.3

Thank you

It's known to work. You'll have to be more specific about what steps you followed and the output you received.

It should be something like:

cd /opt/gurobi500/linux64

sudo python2.7 setup.py install

If I remember correctly setup.py uses the current working dir (or I had something wrong in my path, don't really remember, but you can just read setup.py and check it). Also, you usually need to be a super user (linux) or in a command prompt ran as administrator (win vista/7).

Also make sure you run it with the desired python binary. If you have too many python binaries in your path, you can assign some (different) symbolic links to them.

For Mac OS X, Gurobi Optimizer 5.0.0 supports Python 2.6. Python 2.7 is supported for Windows and Linux.

The reason is that Apple did not support Python 2.7 for Snow Leopard. When we drop Snow Leopard support, we will support Python 2.7 for Mac.

In the meantime, I'm afraid that your options are to use another platform or to use Python 2.6.

OS X Lion is already supported. We're just not supporting Python 2.7 on it.

I don't have a date when we will drop Snow Leopard support and therefore support Python 2.7 on OS X.

We don't support Python 3.x on Mac OS X Lion or on any other platforms.

There's nothing to install for Mac OS X. Gurobi integrates with Python 2.6 that comes with Mac OS X (ex: in /usr/bin/python2.6 for Lion).

[Greg Glockner]

In terminal, run the command:

/usr/bin/idle2.6

In IDLE, write:

from gurobipy import *

I'd suggest that you browse the Java examples...

Hi,

Thanks for the info Rothberg.
In all the java examples, import gurobi.* is used.
From where can I get the gurobi.jar file?

[Greg Glockner]

> From where can I get the gurobi.jar file?

In the lib subdirectory.

The rest of your initial setup questions can be answered by studying the Makefile (Linux/Mac) or the runjava.bat file (Windows) in the examples\build subdirectory.
