I'm trying to figure out how to calculate how many boxes can fit into a shipping container for my work. Does anyone know how I can do this in with Python? There's an example here:

http://www.searates.com/reference/stuffing/

Basically, user enters some different dimensions for boxes, quantities and weights. The program then would return how full the container is or how many more of each box could be added to it. It would also calculate weights of the entire unit.

Even more ideally, would be a picture describing how it's packed.

  • Voting to close because either this is a duplicate (of the question linked by @Bo102010) or this question is too general (it's not clear what Python has to do with things… if you know how to program Python: what part of solving the problem don't you understand? If you don't know Python: possibly learning that would be a good start). Please edit your question to make it more specific. – David Wolever Apr 10 '13 at 03:22
