Fusion in Python 3 #3

Closed tschm closed 7 years ago

tschm commented 9 years ago

Hi Ulf, you mentioned Fusion is not ready for Python 3. Are there any plans to make this possible, too? I wish Fusion would be a bit less forgiving. E.g. I think there is potential to make it faster by only accepting numpy arrays and ditch standard python lists as arguments. Using that way you might have less complexity in feeding into C code. Would that work? Thomas

Mosek 8.0 will support Fusion for both Python 2 and 3, and it will use NumPy arrays as the native array type (this means that it will only work with numpy installed). It will still accept Python lists, but internally they are converted into numpy arrays. I believe that it makes Fusion a bit faster, but I have no concrete numbers; I have made a lot of other improvements so it is hard to isolate the effect of switching to numpy.

And I should mention: Python 3 appears consistently to be slightly slower that Python 2 ( around 5%), probably because of integer arithmetics.

Can you please comment on the expected release date of Mosek 8? thomas

ulfworsoe commented 9 years ago

I think that it currently looks like sometime this fall. Erling hasn't set an official deadline yet.

Happy new year Ulf. What's the latest greatest news on Mosek 8?

ulfworsoe commented 8 years ago

Hi, and happy New Year to you too!

I am afraid that I cannot say anything definite (not because I won't, but because I don't know).

Another thing you might be interested in is that we are working on an Anaconda package, which should be official before too long.

Since v8.0 Python 3 is supported, and the anaconda package are live.
