I've found this tutorial on a python API ( https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/API_PY_TUTORIAL.html ), but it is unclear to me how it all works together. Specifically: do you build your model in GAMS, then run the .gms file from python? does the API translate the .gms file into python or do I have to model the problem using python code? More generally - for someone familiar with GAMS, but limited python experience, are there any quick start sway to get up and running with optimization in python?

Is there a way to run GAMS code (or other algebraic modeling language) from python?
