Spopt is an open-source Python library for solving optimization problems with spatial data. Originating from the region module in PySAL (Python Spatial Analysis Library), it is under active development for the inclusion of newly proposed models and methods for regionalization, facility location, and transportation-oriented solutions.

More examples can be found in the Tutorials section of the documentation.
All examples can be run interactively by launching this repository as a 
spopt is available on the Python Package Index. Therefore, you can either install directly with pip from the command line:
$ pip install -U spopt
or download the source distribution (.tar.gz) and decompress it to your selected destination. Open a command shell and navigate to the decompressed folder. Type:
$ pip install .
You may also install the latest stable spopt via conda-forge channel by running:
$ conda install --channel conda-forge spopt
