gurobipy.Constr#
- class Constr#
Gurobi constraint object. Constraints are always associated with a particular model. You create a constraint object by adding a constraint to a model (using
Model.addConstr
), rather than by using aConstr
constructor.Constraint objects have a number of attributes. The full list can be found in the Attributes section of this document. Some constraint attributes can only be queried, while others can also be set. Recall that the Gurobi Optimizer employs a lazy update approach, so changes to attributes don’t take effect until the next call to
Model.update
,Model.optimize
, orModel.write
on the associated model.We should point out a few things about constraint attributes. Consider the
rhs
attribute. Its value can be queried usingconstr.rhs
. The Gurobi library ignores letter case in attribute names, so it can also be queried asconstr.rhs
. It can be set using a standard assignment statement (e.g.,constr.rhs = 0
). However, as mentioned earlier, attribute modification is done in a lazy fashion, so you won’t see the effect of the change immediately. And some attributes can not be set (e.g., the Pi attribute), so attempts to assign new values to them will raise an exception.You can also use
Constr.getAttr
/Constr.setAttr
to access attributes. The attribute name can be passed to these routines as a string, or you can use the constants defined in theGRB.Attr
class (e.g.,GRB.Attr.RHS
).- getAttr(attrname)#
Query the value of a constraint attribute. The full list of available attributes can be found in the Attributes section.
Raises an
AttributeError
if the requested attribute doesn’t exist or can’t be queried. Raises aGurobiError
if there is a problem with theConstr
object (e.g., it was removed from the model).- Parameters:
attrname – The attribute being queried.
- Returns:
The current value of the requested attribute.
- Example:
print(constr.getAttr(GRB.Attr.Slack)) print(constr.getAttr("slack"))
- property index#
This property returns the current index, or order, of the constraint in the underlying constraint matrix.
Note that the index of a constraint may change after subsequent model modifications.
- Returns:
-2: removed, -1: not in model, otherwise: index of the constraint in the model
- Example:
c = model.getConstrs()[0] print(c.index) # Index will be 0
- sameAs(constr2)#
Check whether two constraint objects refer to the same constraint.
- Parameters:
constr2 – The other constraint.
- Returns:
Boolean result indicates whether the two constraint objects refer to the same model constraint.
- Example:
print(model.getConstrs()[0].sameAs(model.getConstrs()[1]))
- setAttr(attrname, newvalue)#
Set the value of a constraint attribute. Note that, due to our lazy update approach, the change won’t actually take effect until you update the model (using
Model.update
), optimize the model (usingModel.optimize
), or write the model to disk (usingModel.write
).The full list of available attributes can be found in the Attributes section.
Raises an
AttributeError
if the specified attribute doesn’t exist or can’t be set. Raises aGurobiError
if there is a problem with theConstr
object (e.g., it was removed from the model).- Parameters:
attrname – The attribute being modified.
newvalue – The desired new value of the attribute.
- Example:
constr.setAttr(GRB.Attr.RHS, 0.0) constr.setAttr("rhs", 0.0)
