Summary: 
      PuLP is an LP modeler written in python. PuLP can generate MPS or LP files
      and call GLPK[1], COIN CLP/CBC[2], CPLEX[3] and XPRESS[4] to solve linear
      problems.

        Use LpVariable() to create new variables. To create a variable 0 <= x <= 3
        >>> x = LpVariable("x", 0, 3)
        
        To create a variable 0 <= y <= 1
        >>> y = LpVariable("y", 0, 1)
        
        Use LpProblem() to create new problems. Create "myProblem"
        >>> prob = LpProblem("myProblem", LpMinimize)
        
        Combine variables to create expressions and constraints and add them to the
        problem.
        >>> prob += x + y <= 2
        
        If you add an expression (not a constraint), it will
        become the objective.
        >>> prob += -4*x + y
        
        Choose a solver and solve the problem. ex:
        >>> status = prob.solve(GLPK(msg = 0))
        
        Display the status of the solution
        >>> LpStatus[status]
        'Optimal'
        
        You can get the value of the variables using value(). ex:
        >>> value(x)
        2.0
        
        Exported Classes:
        - LpProblem -- Container class for a Linear programming problem
        - LpVariable -- Variables that are added to constraints in the LP
        - LpConstraint -- A constraint of the general form
        a1x1+a2x2 ...anxn (<=, =, >=) b
        - LpConstraintVar -- Used to construct a column of the model in column-wise
        modelling
        
        Exported Functions:
        - value() -- Finds the value of a variable or expression
        - lpSum() -- given a list of the form [a1*x1, a2x2, ..., anxn] will construct
        a linear expression to be used as a constraint or variable
        - lpDot() --given two lists of the form [a1, a2, ..., an] and
        [ x1, x2, ..., xn] will construct a linear epression to be used
        as a constraint or variable
