  Description     : Python interface to COIN-OR linear and mixed-integer program solvers

CyLP is a Python interface to COIN-OR’s Linear and mixed-integer program
solvers (CLP, CBC, and CGL). CyLP’s unique feature is that it can be used
to alter the solution process of the solvers from within Python. For example,
cut generators, branch-and-bound strategies, and primal/dual Simplex pivot
rules can be defined completely in Python.

I am filing this request on behalf of the python-cobra upstream developer.
If this request is fulfilled, python-cylp would be added as a Recommends for
python[3]-cobra.
