Python optimization problem: classifier with restrictions

Question

Is there a function/package in python that as evenly as possible distributes a number of points over groups/teams, but with restrictions for every team (type of points, etc.)?

So for example you have red, blue and yellow points. And then 5 teams, but one team can have max 4 blue, and another team needs to have 2 points difference between yellow and blue, etcetera.

You might be able to pose this as an optimization problem, and there are packages for that. You could check out [PuLP](https://coin-or.github.io/pulp/). — hilberts_drinking_problem, Dec 24 '21 at 09:52

For simple optimization problems, you could look into PuLP like already mentioned.

If you are facing more difficult optimization problems with lots of constraints and where performance is also a concern, you might want to look into MiniZinc or OR-Tools which are some of the best open source solutions available for Python.
