📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The variable API normalizes enum, string, and byte type inputs to VType members. Invalid values raise ValueError. MIP detection and MPS loading use normalized types.

Changes

Variable Type Normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Variable type normalization contract
python/cuopt/cuopt/linear_programming/problem.py, python/cuopt/cuopt/tests/linear_programming/test_python_API.py
Variable.VariableType normalizes accepted inputs through _to_vtype. Invalid values raise ValueError. Tests cover defaults, assignment paths, accepted input forms, and validation.
MIP detection and MPS preservation
python/cuopt/cuopt/linear_programming/problem.py, python/cuopt/cuopt/tests/linear_programming/test_python_API.py
Problem.IsMIP compares VType enum values. MPS round-trip tests verify normalized integer types and preserved MIP status.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3dc14

The change updates variable-type handling, but it still broadens accepted inputs to bytearray without documented contract coverage and leaves an MPS test that would not catch continuous variables being converted to integer types. This is a bounded API and test-adequacy risk that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Restrict normalization to documented input types.

Line 51 accepts bytearray, although the documented contract permits only VType, str, and bytes. For example, bytearray(b"I") now succeeds and produces VType.INTEGER.

Remove bytearray from this branch, or document it as a supported public input type.

As per path instructions, “Verify normalization accepts only the documented VType, string, and byte forms.”

Add type hints to VariableType.

Annotate the getter with -> VType and the setter with value: VType | str | bytes | bytearray and -> None. This syntax matches the package’s Python 3.11 requirement.

Assert each variable type after the MPS round trip.

VType.INTEGER in types passes if Problem.read() changes both variables to INTEGER. It does not verify that y remains CONTINUOUS.

Assert the ordered result equals [VType.INTEGER, VType.CONTINUOUS]. Keep the IsMIP assertion.

As per path instructions, “require assertions that validate behavior and edge cases rather than merely successful execution.”
