Adding an interface to Cbc from the new Coin-or project - Balans

[jjhforrest]

Do the community think it would be a good idea if I add (or at least attempt to add) a Cbc interface to project Balans which has just joined Coin-OR?

I'm not sure I understand how this would be related to CyLP. What would a Cbc interface to Balans consist of?

[jjhforrest]

Balans interfaces with scip or gurobi via python.

And since CyLP is in your domain, I am sure you know someone who can do the job far better than I - as my knowledge of python is very limited.

Ah, I see, so Balans can call other solvers through a Python interface? I guess it wouldn't be that difficult to add a Cbc interface, but maybe it's better to discuss it in the Balans project instead?
