# This example formulates and solves the following simple MIP model
# using the matrix API:
#  maximize
#        x +   y + 2 z
#  subject to
#        x + 2 y + 3 z <= 4
#        x +   y       >= 1
#        x, y, z binary

You will need to have both the NumPy package and the SciPy sparse matrix package in your Python environment to run this example. The easiest ways to obtain a suitable Python environment is to install the Anaconda Python distribution, or to install these packages in your Python environment through python -m pip install numpy scipy.
