pygmo

pygmo is a scientific Python library for massively parallel optimization. It is built around the idea of providing a unified interface to optimization algorithms and to optimization problems and to make their deployment in massively parallel environments easy.

If you are using pygmo as part of your research, teaching, or other activities, we would be grateful if you could star the repository and/or cite our work. For citation purposes, you can use the following BibTex entry, which refers to the pygmo paper in the Journal of Open Source Software:

Upgrading from pygmo 1.x.x

If you were using the old pygmo, have a look here on some technical data on what and why a completely new API and code was developed: https://github.com/esa/pagmo2/wiki/From-1.x-to-2.x

You will find many tutorials in the documentation, we suggest to skim through them to realize the differences. The new pygmo (version 2) should be considered (and is) as an entirely different code.
