Using the Spyder IDE
Using the Spyder IDE
To launch the Spyder
Python IDE, which is included in Anaconda
Python, simply type spyder
in a terminal window. Gurobi
Interactive Shell commands can be typed directly into the Spyder
Console
window:

Note that a general-purpose Python IDE like Spyder requires one extra
step that isn't required when you launch the Gurobi shell from the
gurobi.sh
command: you must manually load the Gurobi module by
typing from gurobipy import *
before issuing any Gurobi
commands.
You can also use Spyder to run any of the Gurobi examples. For
example, if you use Open
under the File
menu to open
Gurobi example mip1.py
, and then click on the Run
icon
(the green triangle), you should see:

Some Gurobi examples require command-line arguments. Those can
be input from the Configure...
item of
the Run
menu. For example, to run the sudoku.py
example with file sudoku1
as input...

Anaconda Python includes all of the Python modules used in the Gurobi
examples, but feel free to explore the vast library of additional
Python modules. A list of available modules can be found
at the
PyPI site.
You can use the conda
command to install additional modules.
Type conda
into a terminal window with no arguments to get
additional information on this command.
