Fluent Assertions Faces Backlash After Abandoning Open Source Licensing
Fluent Assertions is facing backlash after dropping the Apache license for a commercial model, leaving users blindsided and questioning contributor rights.
SDPA for Python is a Python 3 wrapper for SDPA (SemiDefinite Programming Algorithm). SDPA is a software package for solving general SDPs based on primal-dual interior-point methods with the HRVW/KSH/M search direction [1].
This package is a fork of SDPAP, the Python interface for SDPA provided at the official SDPA website. This repository aims to provide Python 3 support for both SDPA and SDPA Multiprecision (fork of SDPA-GMP [4]).
Two variants of this package are available on the Python Package Index (PyPI). The package using the SDPA (OpenBLAS) backend can be installed by
pip install sdpa-python
The package using the SDPA Multiprecision (GMP) backend can be installed by
pip install sdpa-multiprecision
For usage documentation or to build from source, please see the documentation website.
SDPA was officially developed between 1995 and 2012 by Makoto Yamashita, Katsuki Fujisawa, Masakazu Kojima, Mituhiro Fukuda, Kazuhiro Kobayashi, Kazuhide Nakata, Maho Nakata and Kazushige Goto [1] [2] [3]. The official SDPA website contains an unmaintained version of SDPA.
SDPAP was written by Kenta Kato as a Python 2 interface for SDPA. The official SDPA website also contains an unmaintained version of SDPAP.
This package is a Python 3 port of SDPAP. Besides Python 3 support, it also adds support for the multiprecision backend.
