is now part of the COIN-OR family. <br><br>prtpy is a Python library for <br>multiway number partitioning (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_number_partitioning">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_number_partitioning</a>)<br>and bin packing (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem</a>) <br>algorithms.<br></pre><pre>The library supports both exact and approximate algorithms, <br>with several input formats, optimization objectives and output formats.</pre>

<pre>The design is supposed to be easy-to-use both for end-users<br>and for programmers who want to add new algorithms.<br></pre><pre>Contributions of new algorithms are welcome.<br></pre><pre>Erel Segal-Halevi
