We should also look into providing the starting guess of the decision variables, but that is probably for another PR :)
@korken89 You can provide the initial guess as follows:
{
"Run":
{
"parameter": [1.0, 2.0],
"initial_guess": [5.0, 6.0]
}
}
I mean in the python tcp interface :)
@korken89 It's supported in the Python interface too. Having constructed an instance of OptimizerTcpManager
, use call
with two arguments. The first argument is the parameter and the second (optional) argument is the initial guess. For example:
mng = og.tcp.OptimizerTcpManager('python_test_build/tcp_enabled_optimizer')
mng.start()
solution = mng.call([1.0, 50.0, 100.0], [0.0, 1.0])
# or...
solution = mng.call([1.0, 50.0, 100.0], initial_guess=[0.0, 1.0])
@korken89 I don't know happened, but without changing anything, Travis fails all tests with Python versions <3.6 - see for example this log. There, throughout lines 1012-1030, we see that travis fails to install numpy and gives the error
RuntimeError: Python version >= 3.5 required.
I would be OK with removing all support for Python 2.7 (soon to retire), but neither version 3.4 works.
I tried to do the same locally with Python 3.4 (using virtualenv) and I reproduced the error.
Update: I got the following message:
DEPRECATION: Python 3.4 support has been deprecated.
pip 19.1 will be the last one supporting it.
Please upgrade your Python as Python 3.4 won't be maintained after **March 2019** (cf PEP 429).
Apparently, Python 3.4 is indeed deprecated, so it makes sense to remove support for it.
Oh, I'd remove it from the CI as you have done now
@korken89 I added a clarification in the docs that Python >= 3.5 is required. You need to approve this if you agree with these changes so that I can merge it in master
.
