Stu (the new PuLP maintainer) is using PuLP for teaching too.  My  
interest is that I've got a small job that PuLP fits well for, but I'd  
rather use Lua than Python.  I doubt I'll get to the point of anything  
good enough this time round, but you've got to start somewhere, right?

I guess my main question is whether it would need it to solve IP's to  
be useful for you, since I haven't played with CBC a lot.
If you're teaching, might you at some stage have a stream of students  
who might be able to work on such a thing?

Cheers,
Geoff
