Hi, The long description comes from upstream. This is complicated math stuff (LP = linear problem solving), so I don't expect everyone to understand. I have removed the brackets stuff which were in fact references to other Python modules: [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html [2] http://www.coin-or.org/ [3] http://www.cplex.com/ [4] http://www.gurobi.com/ Now, thanks for your suggestion, though if you don't come with a better long description, it isn't very helpful. I don't believe I am able to write one myself. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
