Linear Programming in Python with CVXOPT (scaron.info)

If you're interested in model generation time, have a look at JuMP (https://github.com/JuliaOpt/JuMP.jl). More discussions on the speed of modeling languages at http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.1431 and http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.01982

Interesting -- any idea how the performance compares to Ipopt or Gurobi?
