LSPModule Class¶

class localsolver.modeler.LSPModule¶

A module is a collection of global variables. As LSP is a dynamically typed language, global variable can contain any value (including functions and other modules). Each LSP file is a module.

Global variables can be modified and accessed by their name specified as a string. Most of the functions below exist in multiple versions: values of the global variables can be manipulated through their native type (like int, float, String, LSPMap, LSPFunction…) or manipulated with an LSPValue which is a container that can hold any type of value. Using the native type is more convenient and results in less overhead most of the time. LSPValue should only be used when you don’t know the type of the manipulated value.

Releases the reference. If this module was already released, returns immediately and does nothing. Invoking any method on this object after this operation will throw an exception.
