In this document, we introduce PyCSP 3 , a Python library that allows us to write models of combinatorial constrained problems in a simple and declarative way. Currently, with PyCSP 3 , you can write models of constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. More specifically, you can build CSP (Constraint Satisfaction Problem) and COP (Constraint Optimization Problem) models. Importantly, there is a complete separation between modeling and solving phases: you write a model, you compile it (while providing some data) in order to generate an XCSP 3 instance (file), and you solve that problem instance by means of a constraint solver. In this document, you will find all that you need to know about PyCSP 3 , with more than 40 illustrative models.
